Question no 1 : Write the definition of Decentralized and Centralized Social Media Platforms in your own words.Explain in your own words the difference between decentralization and centralization Social Media Platforms (answer should related Social Media Platforms . (answer must be written in oun words, copy paste or from other source copy will be not accepted)
Central social media: We can say that it is a platform controlled by any company, group or organization, where people share and chat. I can give facebook as an example
Decentralized social media: Platforms built on decentralized, transparent, uncontrollable blockchains, where people share and merge with each other. I can give Steemit as an example
Differences between centralized social media and decentralized social media:
You feel the presence of an authority in central social media. The content you share can be eliminated by the center. If your content is reported on Facebook, it will be removed. There is no authority in decentralized social media. Your content is not removed in any way on Steemit. Even if reported, it remains in the blockchain records. It can downvote its content and it will be invisible but not deleted at all.
You experience security problems, hacking problems in central social media. Since decentralized social media are created with high-level security measures, you will not have security problems, hacking problems.
In central social media, data is stored in a central location. In decentralized social media, data is stored in blockchains formed by blocks.
It is easier to mingle with users in centralized social media. There is a convenience like private messaging. There is no private messaging on decentralized social media. But there are studies on this subject.
Central social media share your information with advertising firms in exchange for money to maintain commercial activities. Your information is not shared on decentralized social media.
Decentralized social media are more transparent than centralized social media. All information, all content can be accessed by users.
It earns money from companies that own central social media. Users make money on decentralized social media.
Creating memberships in decentralized social media is easier than centralized social media.
There is no age requirement for membership in decentralized social media. There is an age requirement for membership in central social media.
Question no 2 :Which One is The Future of Social media ? Decentralized or centralized Social media.(answer must be written in own words)
Hacking / security incidents in central exchanges in recent years and sharing user information with advertising companies caused a reaction on the part of users. While these problems were occurring, the emergence of decentralized social media, alternatives for social media for users emerged. To give an example from my point of view, I don't spend as much time on central social media anymore. I don't find it reliable and I don't feel free there.
After the advent of blockchain-based social media, I feel more free. My posts are not deleted or removed by any authority.
As time progresses, interest in decentralized social media will increase as people discover decentralized social media. The end of social media is slowly approaching.
The fact that central social media does not act in a principled manner attracts the reactions of the states. Social media called Tiktok has been restricted in many countries. Following an unprincipled policy, making young people lazy and pushing them into bad habits caused states to ban Tiktok.
I can say that decentralized social media will be more popular in the future. However, this does not happen immediately, we must introduce decentralized social media to people for this to happen quickly. Also, decentralized social media needs to solve some problems. They must act user-oriented. Thus, the popularity of decentralized social media will increase even more.
Question no 3 : How steemit decentralization social media is best than Twitter and Facebook.(answer must be written in own words)
Since Facebook and Twitter have a central structure, you can immediately feel the presence of an authority. It has the authority to remove the shares you make here. Upon complaint, your content will be unfairly removed. If the complaint is severe, your account will be closed. There is no such thing in Steemit. There is no account closure. No content removal, no content deletion. Therefore, it provides users with the opportunity to express their thoughts freely.
There is a problem of signing up on Twitter and Facebook. You may need to dedicate a lot of overtime to join. You are restricted when you first sign up. When you start following a few people, your account will be examined and you will not be able to do what you want. In Steemit, you can follow as many users as you wish without your account being reviewed.
You cannot generate commercial income from the content you create on Facebook and Twitter. The company takes all commercial revenues and uses your content. Although you are the one that produces the content, it becomes the company that generates commercial income. You earn money from the content you create on Steemit.
Content restrictions exist in social media such as faacebook and twitter. It is not always possible to access the content of the users you wish. Since Steemit is blockchain-based, everything is transparent and you have the opportunity to access the content of the user you want.
The content you share on social media such as Facebook and Twitter may belong to someone else. Nobody warns or denigrates you in this regard. Or nobody encourages you to create original content. In Steemit, the content created is requested to be original and there is an incentive in this regard. The better and more original content you create, the more it will contribute to you.
Question no 4 : What do you say? How do Steemit social media change the lives of millions of its users?(answer must be written in own words)
Steemit encourages members to be original and creative. Therefore, users create content freely. It will challenge their capacity to reach all boundaries in areas of interest. So they will create great content in their areas of interest and have the opportunity to develop themselves better.
Steemit gives its users the opportunity to freedom. I see painters that I could not see on other platforms on this platform. Because being an artist or painting does not like to be restricted. If you are a good painter or artist, Steemit is for you. Do not miss this opportunity!
In this period, a normal steemit user earns good income. Because Steem price went up. An active steemit user can thus earn income here that he would not have earned elsewhere. Steemit is an opportunity for people who are unemployed, especially considering the people who are unemployed at this time. They can make use of these opportunities and contribute to their budgets.
Some users are running a charity campaign at Steemit. Helping children, the sick, and the elderly, especially in poor and underdeveloped countries, leads to change the lives of the people there.
