I think it's both. People still use social media platforms for both business and socializing. More people have begun to use social media in the past decade and it has become a very huge factor for business growth. As a business, especially an online business, the easiest way to communicate with your customers and potential customers is through social media.
Companies can now reach out to their customers easily and fix a problem more easily. They communicate with customers which is also socializing to know their customers better and is also a business strategy. I don't think you can actually measure if people use social media for more business than socializing because a lot of people still use it for both.

People have realized that Social Media has a power more than how it used to be in those days when people just come online to chat and connect, influencers are now easy to build online by impacting people socially and also sell things for the fans and most importantly, advertise to people but there is one thing I hate how Social Media are been used to promote sells, people that use social media to sell stuffs sometimes lie and hype a product just to get their shares which is not suppose to be so, there are others who the right thing but the bad ones are more.

I think it depends on the user, it depends on what it's used for, like a knife, it can cut meat and vegetables but it can also kill, it all depends on the person, just like social media, it depends on the mindset of the person using it. Social media is only a means of uniting those who are far away, stay connected, your friends who are far away, keep socializing with your family who are far away, can find out news and conditions.
Social media unites those who are far away to stay connected, get acquainted with new people, add friends, promote and do business through digital, get news from within the country and abroad, discuss and share knowledge, discuss events that are happening, look for job vacancies, create events or events, becoming an endorser on social media, staying in touch with old friends, keeping abreast of developments in the era of technology and communication, and so on. So I think it all depends on what we use social media for even in a difficult economic situation.

Social media platform has become the best way to reach out to strangers and tell them about your business as well as people around you, which is really tough if you are doing it physically. You can't spread your advertisements far and people show less interest. Most of the newly started startup businesses are taking their first step through the social media platform. So it's not a surprise as people are using it more for their personal benefits to counter the economic crisis and less active on socializing.

Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?
You are right and it has become inevitable too. More people are online now so why not take advantage of that by bringing the market/business online on every social media platform. We can see these days how easy it is for people to advertise their businesses on every social media space even when the original information isn't about that business cos it has become much quicker for people to see your business that way and why not make money instead of just socializing on there.

What could have profited a man in this era of digital technology than making money online, we have many social media influencers looking for followers not becau they are interested in them but because they realize the potentials and influence that comes in with having a large numbers of social media followers and information can be easily circulated across the globe because of this influence when they're try to pass something across, also some engage in doing models and brands ambassadors for a particular organization all frombthe sake of social media influence that they just don't post alone, but earn a living through every activities they do on their social media handles.

Social media at the moment is like a useless application, in my country some of the popular social media, namely Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, only contain advertisements selling to marketplaces, moreover the presence of trending topics used for business, spam, to the promotion of sex services, and of course this difficult to prevent because it's easy and free to create an account on social media.

Well internet makes everyone closer to each other and as it humanity evolved, you network and market yourself. And now every business is going online and I think there's nothing wrong with that, but instead embrace it.
This is only partially true, thanks to the internet and social networks, we can make many friends as well as have the opportunity to chat with loved ones far away. But today's social networks are making love between husband and wife, mother and child, friends ... increasingly blurred. Each person with a phone is only interested in the things of social networks that forget about the people closest to us. Our society is developing day by day, but besides the advantages, there are always disadvantages, which is alarming.
Although there are so many good things attached to it but it is affecting people mental and personal life as well.

Just take the positive side. I mean there are a lot of apps that fall under the social media context so the developers are revolutionizing to find revenue on every ad that wants to use their app. So we as users don't deserve to give a negative impression, I mean the modern era today is working while sleeping and you can take advantage of social media as a new field to earn side income. Besides socializing, you can do various other things to take advantage of situations from social media.
Don't make it too complicated, that's the words you have to remember. if you always refer to it then you will not be able to take advantage of the digital era to earn income.

But social media is a great tool - it changes the lives of the people in a jiffy.

So yes, social media is two way street now, pre-Facebook, Friendster was the one of the first to be used as a social media platform but Facebook comes and kill the competition and then it grows in the last 20 years that it evolved to where we are right now, not just Facebook but all social media platform as means to business ourselves to others.

In last couple of years social media has changed the face of world.
In my country every person is on facebook, instagram and tiktok - they are earning so much though the video sharing and content writing. No doubt if you use it wisely you can be rich in not time
Not only that, but all the social media that you mentioned can also be an important support for the youtube platform in publishing all content such as videos at this time and it can also support the income of everyone who does it with great focus. And in general it is clear that this really helps social media users to continue looking for income without limits. That's what I see here in my place where so many people do things like that.In my country every person is on facebook, instagram and tiktok - they are earning so much though the video sharing and content writing.

Speaking about earning opportunities then cant really deny that people had been monetizing things on what they are sharing whether it would be solely sticking into likes and views in matter or would be totally be into those businesses that they are really that involving which they could really be promoting it out on social media.Is this really an issue? I dont see any problems in related to it since people are
legitimately going with the terms and rules which as long it would be illegal then it should really be just fine.

Social media is the best marketing place i have seen best, because with social media platform you can easily tell your friends which is not around your country to help you and market your business, so i believe that online is the best place we can for business advertisement, many people now doesn't do their business manually they both operate in online and manually, so it depends the level of your business, but for business to get more awarenesses is through a social media.In my country every person is on facebook, instagram and tiktok - they are earning so much though the video sharing and content writing.

By the way, if no one does the job and everyone starts scrolling of social media platforms, then no one will earn a single cent. And competition is so high in this area that almost every niche is occupied and super saturated and it's becoming very hard for new people to improve and earn from social medias.
Also, I think that the idea of this topic was that at first socializing was problem for society and the aim of social media was to solve that problem. Today, the problem is solved but the priority has changed, instead of improving social media platforms and making communication better, they turned these platforms into spywares. They collect cookies, read and analyze messages, track us and what not.

We're getting more global as the day goes by, if social media leaves it original reason of 'socializing' and is now focussed on business, then I think we're still on track because business happens to be one of the fastest means of socializing and instead of socializing on empty Pockets, why not monetize it and save some stress.
Take for instance in my country, almost every one is on either tic tok, Facebook or has an account on YouTube and they're either content creators being paid directly by the platform or they're running their own services or selling something and we still socialize and pass out information.

Most of my classmates before were also mostly into social media, trying to be vloggers or also posting videos as they could earn money from it. It is a really great opportunity, as anyone can do it, and if your content is good and you get lucky enough to get noticed, you will be earning money. Though I was tempted to do this before, it was really time-consuming, and I don't have that luxury, as well as being camera shy. Let's just take this as an advantage so that we can promote other things as well as help others.

That is the development of the times and it turns out that social media has multiple functions, apart from being a tool for communication and socializing it can also be used as a good market for the products we make or places of business and some even use it as their workplace, although sometimes we get annoyed with what appears from what is being talked about on social media. Wise in terms of social media, I don't understand what you mean, maybe I will understand if you say that using social media for business is likely to be easy to make profits because as we can see, on average, everyone uses social media.
then people would really be making use of it to introduce their products and services into huge public exposure which we know that it is really something that effective and better rather than
on making it locally or physically.
Now that facebook do make out some recent step about that verified accounts montly fees and i dont know on what would happen later on.
