We are living in a digital world, and in this digital world, social media is something that has made the communication system much easier for us. At the present time, social media is not only about getting connected to people via messages or calls. It also became a great way for promoting business and sharing different kinds of content, and it became a source of income for many people. Right now, there are many digital content creators on social media. Social media is trying to bring out the creativity of people, and it's something that deserves appreciation.
Before the time of the pandemic situation, many people had not heard about the monetization system or content monetization, but now many people know about it, and I think I don't need to explain what it is. But is it a good thing? Does the monetization system indirectly influence us to chase money without any effective work, or is it actually making us lazy? Is there any true value to it in real life, or any impact, or are we just wasting our precious time? I believe that nothing in this world comes with only advantages. If there are advantages, there are also disadvantages. What's the case for content monetization?
Social media has been popular for a long time, and people used to waste their precious time on Facebook, Twitter (now X), and other social media platforms. I am giving an example with my country's people (friends & relatives) from my personal experience. In my country, Facebook was very popular, and it's still popular here. I was not such a person who used to spend most of the time on Facebook. Whenever I used to log in to Facebook, it was for something related to my study—I mean, checking some posts that related to my study. So I never think that I wasted my time on Facebook. But I need to come to my friends or my relatives; they used to be active for more than 10 hours a day on average. The time is indeed huge. They used to be busy with, like, sharing, commenting, and messaging with others, and the ridiculous thing is that there is no actual value to those actions, and that's the reason Facebook never caught my attention. In that time, the monetization system was not as easy like now, and so very few people could go for it, and there were few content creators or people who could earn money from it.
But now the monetization system has become much easier, and anyone can monetize their content easily. It is such a thing that is helping a lot of people earn money. Is it indeed a very good thing, and are there many potential content creators who are taking the opportunity to earn money? I believe that we might lose many talented content creators if the monetization system were not so easy, like at present time. So it's how to bring the maximum potential from a person to show their talent and skills through digital content. Many people are now fully dependent on online earnings, and it has become possible because of monetization. I think those are the most important benefits of monetization.
Let's talk about the dark side of it. There are many platforms that only promote those things that people want to see rather than valuable, creative, and good content. Some people are trying to be popular by using seductive content or low-quality content. It is not a healthy growth of social media, and it has many negative consequences for the consumer. Again, I have also seen a few content creators who became arrogant after getting a few fans and acted like they were the celebrity, which is not good, and those spread negativity. Even if there is some dark side to it, I think the benefits and the potential possibilities for modernization are much more than the disadvantages, so we cannot ignore all the good sides of it.
If you think that I violated any rules of this platform or my word hurting you or I made any mistakes here , let me inform about it through comments or my other social network . I will try to correct it if I made any mistakes.
