crime cannot be avoided, therefore we must be observant and smart in using social media and be able to avoid all forms of fraud. social media has not decreased, everything is still the same as before but there are many new things that really help many people in using social media, in my opinion it is the same as before but there are many additions such as businesses that benefit many parties, we must take advantage of this and keep up with the times during still in a positive way.

with developments that continue to exceed expectations from the beginning of the formation of social media, it takes hard work from everyone so that social media can be used for good purposes, but it cannot avoid the abuse that occurs with social media. agree with you, in addition to being a challenge for developers but also a challenge for users to be able to sort out which ones can be participated in or not, they must be selective in sorting them out so they don't collide with rules and abuse which in the end is detrimental.

Social media functions that were originally designed to share information or activities have now turned into marketplaces, we can get almost all products or services on social media, even many sex services are also available on social media, of course this is a challenge for developers to be able to present better social media.

Regardless of the enormous amount of people using social media everyday, which makes it a client hunting place for different businesses, people still utilize social media for social purposes. The content creators makes social media a fun place and seize the opportunity to market a business. Without socializing businesses won't thrive on social media, because users are there to have fun and meet new trends, behaviors, fashion etc. From my observations, they is more of socializing on social media than businesses. The algorithm features more of businesses because the social media platform makes money through those businesses. And we tend to see more of business pages because they spend more time on social media to build networks and attract new customers. I see lots of small social media accounts that don't focus on the growth of their pages, as they don't care about getting customers on social media instead they're there to experience fun during leisure.

The addition of features that are tailored to the needs of the platform users themselves is indeed a step that is quite helpful for Social Media users. And yes, you are right that all the things that make users increase their business through social media also have no effect on social media interactions that are still running as usual. But the shift that is happening there is the increasingly complex activities on social media. Everything is not just limited to ordinary interactions but rather interactions that also lead to an interest such as business, politics and increasing popularity.

Today's social media is becoming more like the social world in the real world. because everything is available on social media. Even now, people prefer to read news and watch news through social media rather than television. This is what makes advertising and the business world grow faster on social media platforms. because it follows the growth in the number of users which is really fantastic and indeed suitable to be used as promotional media too if we have a business or product that we want to promote.

there are many bad things that are possible to happen to social media today, fraud or other things, therefore we as users must be smart and also wise in using it.
With today's technological sophistication, social media, which provides many things, is actually quite helpful for many people, but it can also be detrimental if you don't use it wisely.

Think of social media as a tool, it impact—good or bad—depends on the user. It's like a car—convenient, but mishandle it, and you crash. Indeed, social media opens doors to knowledge, promotions, and social ties. But it's not all rosy. Issues like online addiction, misinformation, and scams lurk in the shadows. Our task is to drive cautiously on the web highway, using social media to inform and connect, whilst avoiding potholes. Only then can we harness its potential.

That comes with letting enterprises in and allowing them to use it as a means to advertise themselves to more people. Way back when social media was small the whole business world dismissed of it and saw it as nothing but a different way for people to communicate, now with all these features being added to better communicate with other people, analysts and other smart people that work for these businesses saw this as an opportunity to market their product digitally. Things escalated from there and now we got 2 unskippable ads on youtube which I seriously abhor.

This is not a good thing, but with profit taken into consideration I don't think this system will change. with web3 this could be lessened but that venture would just be another way for advertisers to riddle our screens with product placements for sure. That's just the way things go now I guess.

many people use socail media as a great tool for business and they really put in a lots of effort. If you think it is an easy task then you are wrong about it.

In the end everything will come back to how we use it. If we can use it properly and for good purposes, we can really take advantage of social media. the benefits that we can get from social media, for example, are educational and information media (easier to find educational and news content that presents information that is packaged more easily to access and doesn't use a lot of internet data), promotional media and business (makes things easier in the business sector, it is more flexible in time and more cost-effective in promotion and a wider range of consumers that we can reach in promotion), media to stay connected socially and also media to build connections with more and easier business partners.

But the negative thing is when someone who is good at using social media but has bad goals such as making fraudulent advertisements and so on.

Why would only staying up and making use mainly on its function if we could really be able to do both things? We could be able to socialize and at the same time we could really be able to make out some advertisement with our business which is something that having that dual purpose. Just like the rest been saying that it isnt really that shocking that people would be having this kind of treatment on which
they are really utilizing these mediums for that kind of advancement. Although it wont really be giving out that kind of assurance of success despite on having that huge traffic.

We know that in every business, there are ones who do succeed and there are ones who do fail no matter what marketing they would really be doing.It always matter on the demand and recognition of such
product and services that you do offer. We know that not all would really be succeeding on this area.

everything must experience development and it must have some positive and negative impacts. you are absolutely right that there are many negative impacts, some of the negative impacts of social media are that we will lose track of time, the intensity of meeting in person will decrease, the amount of false news or information circulating, and making people addicted to the internet and many more.
but on the other side, social media still has many other positive impacts, such as distance and time currently it is not a problem to stay connected with other people, it can expand the connections we have, it is easier to express ourselves, and of course the dissemination of information or news becomes faster and more efficient and many more.
as long as we can use social media properly then I think that's a good thing, as long as we also have to be able to control ourselves or minimize the negative impact on ourselves.

although there are many people who are establishing small businesses on social media but there are people who are taking break from social media and trying to detox it.
life is a continuous struggle and we are just running behind it

The increased focus on business activities does not detract from the social aspect of the platform, but expands its functionality to meet the needs of a wider range of users. but it is still inherently important to note that even though social media has become a powerful tool for businesses, it still serves as a platform to socialize and connect with others. Many people continue to use social media primarily for personal interaction, sharing updates and staying connected with friends and family.

If it's only for social interaction, then indeed interaction on social media has become more rigid than it was a few years ago. But personally, when I open social media, I forget a little about time. because so much interesting video content is displayed. So for me social media as a whole is becoming more attractive for the entertainment and business sector. but in terms of intensity in social interaction, it does become a little boring. in fact I prefer to interact in this forum. because I get insight every time I interact and read here.

The reason why it was made is still there because, as I've noticed right now, I don't see people using their sim cards in my country or buying a load to call and text them; mostly, the conversation goes to social media if they want to call or chat with them, as they are more reachable on social media than calling their contact numbers, and still, we can see their faces if we want too. It will stay what it is, but it is just improved right now as they put in a lot of features. Even if I do want to eat something, I will just find it on social media to find it nearby my house.

I'm sure you are no longer a minor who has to complain like this just because of advertisements and other people's places of business use through social media. Because you yourself can still block ads that you find annoying or boring through your own device and you can also only use your social media for things you need without having to feel annoyed with people who use social media to sell.

It is the right of every person in terms of using social media even though they only use it to sell and I think that is also a very good thing because they can use social media to do business and expand their business even though you feel bored when you see other people who is trying to struggle to develop in his life through it. Although basically you can also do that with the skills you currently have and block those who you think are very annoying when they are selling.

I don't even know how the @19Nov16 thought when he said he was bored when he saw advertisements and saw people selling on social media. Even though that is another function of social media besides just using it to socialize with fellow human beings and that is also better than those who use social media to commit crimes or things that harm other people such as promoting illegal drugs. So I was a little surprised when he said he was bored just because of advertisements and people selling on social media.

everything has positive and negative sides, but let's be smart and wise in using social media and take advantage of things that are profitable and also make it easier for us, social media as a whole really helps us now to buy goods and stay on its main function, namely socializing.
I am now greatly helped by social media, I can easily buy the things I want, so I think it is very useful for me.

The ads make social media boring. The marketplace is also a good addition to social media as we can buy near-by stuff at a cheap price, but again, a lot of scammers are there as well. With the ads, most of the influencers are putting or embedding ads on their videos, mostly in gambling, which makes it annoying, and there are also ads everywhere in videos. What you've mostly seen in your timeline now is people selling something, and a lot of people will also like to introduce you to something. It is more business-oriented that anyone wants to earn money and not socialize.

Recently, advertisements have taken a backseat in the eyes of many users, with some even expressing dislike towards them. Instead, they prefer to see how skillfully someone can directly offer their products or services to their followers. What I've observed is that the current marketing strategy on social media revolves around interacting with users live and engaging in uninterrupted conversations.

Until now, I consider social media as a hybrid platform that provides us with both enjoyment and information from friends, as well as a high-potential business medium.
