Social media addiction, monetization and frustration.

Greetings friends!

Social media is very addictive. People love to spend their precious time here interacting with others and getting a sense of being heard.

Social media has become so addictive that people have are even neglecting their family, friends and surroundings. They are not physically active. It was better when there was limited internet connectivity and smartphones were in the nascent state. Smartphones have changed our life a lot but they also have distracted us a lot. They take our most of the time and energy. People love to argue with others on common issues. They check their phones again and again during a day. One reason is that people love to get attention of others. Second reason is that they think their accounts might be monetized and they may earn money through it.

Money is the driving force behind lots of reels and posts. Platforms like steem and hive give opportunity to people to earn cryptos by writing posts. This attracts lots of people but they soon realize that this is not an easy thing to get rewards.

Despite being downvoted, there are many accounts who continuously post here. They never get paid as they are continuously being downvoted. Despite having reputation score in minus, they don't give up easily. In my view this is just insane. There is no use of wasting your time and resources to get downvotes and then become frustrated. They should invest their time and efforts for making their life happy.

Thank you!

A thoughtful reflection, social media can empower, but without balance, it drains both time and peace of mind. Prioritize purpose over attention.

Social media is not a bad thing but likewise other addictive stuff, it makes people addictive and give a false pleasure. Balance is necessary.
