We all know that social networks have constantly changed the world, so we must take into account that there are decentralized and centralized networks, each one is opposite to the other, and in the class of professor @yousafharoonkhan I was able to understand this issue very well, it is a class that I really enjoyed because it is easily understood.

• Definition of centralized and decentralized social media platforms, difference between the two.

• Decentralized

This type of social networks are characterized by the incredible technology in their blockchain, which makes it more secure and reliable, since they do not depend on large entities that monitor and regulate our data, content, etc.

No company will control this type of network, but if it has computers that work together to run it, decentralized social networks give us the freedom to publish content avoiding being restricted (as long as it is not harmful to the public), we will not have to We are concerned if our personal data could be endangered, and it is very unlikely that our accounts will be hacked due to the technology they use, since in many cases it is blockhain, as in the case of Steemit.

• Centralized

We all know centralized social networks, as they tend to be very popular today, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. These social networks do depend on large entities that regulate it and monitor every movement that is made in them, since they depend on a central server.

This type of network is made up of organizations and companies that depend on them, it is characterized because the privacy and security of the users is not good, and it puts the hacking of accounts at risk. In many cases, the contents are censored by the multiple rules that these social networks have, which greatly demotivates users.

It should be taken into account that if the server fails, the platforms may fall and stop working for a while, which is not beneficial for users. Furthermore, this type of network is also very easy for scammers, since they seek to promote false information to increase the number of followers, causing great losses to users.

• Differences

It can be seen that centralized social networks depend a lot on other entities that will always be aware of what we do, we will be very prone to our content and data being sold and deleted on the network, if something does not seem to them, in addition to presenting the great risk of our accounts being hacked due to the ease of doing so. On the other hand, decentralized social networks are literally new proposals to the world that in many cases bring benefits, such as monetization, these networks are characterized by this, by providing support to users in a monetary way, as long as it is quality content .

These networks are very secure, in most cases and gives us more freedom and space, our data and keys will depend only on us, and we will be less exempt from hacking and scams, however, something both have in common and is sharing. content of all kinds.

• What is the future of social networks? Decentralized or centralized social networks

In my personal opinion, I consider that the future of social networks is on the way through the decentralized option, since I consider that it is executed in a more organized and disciplined way, granting us in many cases greater security and freedom of expression, as long as it is respecting the other users.

This type of social media is an innovative way that makes users evolve and at the same time guarantees that their content is monetized, which is a great help for everyone. Well, I consider that today social networks have a lot of power and influence and what better way than to work it from a more organized way such as decentralized ones

It will also depend on us on the proper use and management that we give to this type of social networks, since there are many malicious people seeking to harm and scam people, and with decentralized social networks the risk of this happening is less, adding that we are not monitored and in many cases tracked by other entities. For all the above mentioned things and more, I consider that decentralized social policies are the fruit of a good future that is coming.

• How steemit's decentralization social networks are better than Twitter and Facebook

It is very easy to say that Steemit is better than these social networks such as twitter and Facebook, because we know the great history that both have, and one of them is Facebook, being accused of misusing user data, denying him freedom of expression in many cases and censoring his accounts and posts. These networks are not secure bought with Steemit, because by having a blockhain technology we are at a lower risk of being hacked.

Steemit guarantees users a monetization that helps everyone, and on Twitter and Facebook this is less likely to happen, in addition we can see the organization that exists between Steemit and these two centralized social networks, in others I believe that users will feel more safe when working with cryptocurrencies and maintaining your assets virtually rather than physically.

Privacy and freedom is a very important point that characterizes Steemit, so now many users in the world prefer to share content here and not on the other two social networks.

• How Steemit's social networks change the lives of millions of its users?

It is a very important and relevant question that I consider to be very timely, since Steemit has had an impact on the lives of the users who use it, in such a way that they have evolved as people as well, motivating them to create quality content and helping us learn on different branches. Others have come into people's lives at the right time, because it is impossible to deny that it helps us in many aspects of our lives.

With the emergence of covid-19, Steemit has given us the opportunity to reinvent ourselves and find a new way to move forward, learning from the positive and informative things that users share on the platform every day, I must say that without a doubt Steemit has It changed my life in a good way, which resulted in the fact that I could help more people and inform them about it so that we could all help each other.

That is why in a good way Steemit has made an impact on millions of people who use it, giving us an opportunity to move on, as we all decided, A better life with Steemit!

• How can we earn money with Steemit's decentralized social networks?

It is really very simple to do, but you have to have a lot of effort and dedication, in addition to being constant every day. When making a publication on the platform we are prone to being curated and receiving rewards, only if our publication is of quality and is very well written, with a good message to convey. We can make money when we get voted on in our post, in a comment, and of course when we heal other people as well.

Votes are not guaranteed, but if we do our job consistently and in a good way, I am sure we are. In order to earn money on the platform, it is not only about publishing content, it is also very important that we comment and vote on other publications to support other users and thus be seen.

We can win three types of currencies, such as TRX, STEEM and SBD, through our publications and when we win a contest in the community where we participate. And currently there is a new dynamic that takes place in the communities and that is that when we give SP to the community, every month we receive a small reward from our delegation, so these are the ways to earn money in steemit.

• How to create communities on Steemit's social networks (step-by-step practice)

First we enter the main page of steemit and we click where it says "Explore communities"

Then on the left hand side we are going to click on the green letters that say "create a community"

And we will not see the title that we are going to put to our community and the small description, after placing the name and the description we will click on where it says "NEXT"

To create our community, they will ask us for a cost of 3 STEEM, which is important that we have in our wallet.

To carry out this operation, it will ask us for our password that we use to carry out operations in our wallet

After placing it, we click on register and it will provide us with the password of our community, it is very important that we keep it in a safe place

Then we click on create community and voila, my community is created.

We can verify in:

Conclusion

Centralized and decentralized social networks have evolved in the world in a great way, in many cases they have had an impact in a positive and negative way, we must search and choose very well which one is the best for us and with which we feel most comfortable. It is impossible to deny that decentralized networks like Steemit, are rising like foam and every day they are becoming more notorious, that is why it is a new opportunity that they offer all users to continue evolving.

I believe that decentralized networks are on the right track and will be the great future, I am not saying that centralized ones are bad, but there are better aspects to be dealt with in decentralized ones, and thanks to the work of professor @yousafharoonkhan I was able to understand better about the subject and keep learning, for that I thank you.
