RE: How Does Social Media Manipulate You?
Wow, quite an eye opener it was, these days the physical life has come to zero and people think that what they show to others is what their life is, not what they actually living is. These days people don't go outside at cafeterias or pubs to enjoys and upload their status and pics, but they have to upload their pics that's why they have to go. And all these things are ruining habits of a lot of people. If anybody hasn't updated a cool pic at some cool place so all of the social friends starts thinking he is not enjoying life or he is very busy in his work and no time to enjoy. And in the middle of this, all the social media apps and companies are making billions of dollars Just to let people show off.
ya I completely agree, people don't even bother looking up from their phones anymore
that's why I think Steem is a breath of fresh air and can hopefully shake things up a bit for the better
Even I support steemit over other social networks. What good do social networks do to us anyway other than spoiling us. Now On steemit, Imagine you are drinking a 10$ coffee and put a selfie with a little bit of writing, and it can get you 50-60$ if you have a good following. You get paid to socialise. I AM LOVING IT
ya exactly, plus its a disincentive to elicit bad attention as people are hardly going to vote you up if you anger them
Another plus point and instead, people focus their energy on productive things in order to get more votes, so at the end there will be a very big positive effect on people through this.
It's really a shame, isn't it. People are so absorbed with self-entertainment, just with that little electronic wonder. I check FB about once a month. I've already told those who know me if you have something important to tell me, call or text. I view FB kind of like television. It's not necessary. We vote with our dollars (what we buy), the remote (what we watch), and time (what we pay attention to). Spend time with your friends and family, as they are the only things you can take with you when you leave...
