Urdu community Contest / S2W1 – Social Media by @olabillions

Write about the social media you use the most daily and why is it beneficial for you or not?

Instagram and WhatsApp are the social media I use most but I use one more than the other, due to some reason, I prefer WhatsApp to Instagram, this being that, the amount of data consumption using Instagram is like 10fold of that using WhatsApp. I navigate to Whatsapp every now and then in a day even when I have no information to receive or bargain with anyone on the platform, almost every android and iPhone user are registered on the platform, it is registered that over 2 billion users are active monthly on this platform. I enjoy WhatsApp because it supports communication with users in various ways,

You can choose to voice call or video call your partner, friends, client's, parent, or anyone from any part of the world, the swift chatting between users is another benefit I enjoy using the WhatsApp platform, there are features like voice notes, stickers, smiley during chat which most of the time spice up the conversation and extend the length of the chat.

Another feature I like about WhatsApp is the status feature, as long as there is a mutual connection between several users, in the sense that you saved a variety of contacts and also these contact saved yours too, you have the privilege to see their statuses and by this I mean, the activity they choose to let you see, such as motivational post, a skit video, a meme, and a lot more, another way it benefits the user is its low data consumption, the platform doesn't consume much data which makes it available for anyone that has a little data to stay active for as long as it sustains to be on the platform.

Why do you think spending more time on steemit than on other social media platforms can help you grow in life and benefit your life?

Steemit is a social media platform that requires a lot of sacrifices to achieve and have an influence on the media platform, it has helped me grow variously, for instance, my writing ability, it has enhanced my writing skills and sharpened my brain such that I make sure I create a content that will be supported by the curators and such content will require a good writing skill and a sharp brain, spending more time on steemit will help the user in two ways,

Free Academics:- the platform accommodates varieties of quality content, there are a lot of publications on the platform as such there are lot of several educational posts that are being published for academic purposes. Take, for example, kouba01 has been teaching ROBOTIC
using ESP32 board, there are some interested user on this topic, which ever since the first lesson to the current stage of the lesson, has learned a lot as a result of free lesson posted on the platform, if a user is to learn stuff like that outside steemit it will cost much more than your expectations but here on the platform you have been learning for free. So spending more time on the platform will expose you to different topics and knowledge shared on the platform.

Financially:- I believe we can all testify to this, steemit has been a supportive social media platform financial, such that you can never see from other social platforms, it pays as a result of upvotes payout on a content which in the time of 7days and it pays out in cryptocurrencies which are, steem sbd, and trx, each of this coin can be exchanged for fiat currency to benefit your life.

In the end compare Steemit with other social media platforms by talking about their advantages and disadvantages, and give examples from your personal experience.

Advantages

Steemit	other social media platform
Steemit is a decentralized social media platform	they are centralized platforms
Steemit reward user in cryptocurrency	they have no reward to pay their users
Steemit operate on a blockchain	they do not operate on a blockchain
Steemit brings out the quality in you as such it is competitive among users	they cant bring out the quality in you because there is no competition among users
Steemit doesn’t support plagiarism	user is free to use plagiarise content on other platforms
Steemit platform is secured, and free from hackers	they can be hacked as they have been cases of hacks on WhatsApp
Steemit is time-consuming, to crate content takes a lot of hours	it doesn’t require much time
Interesting features like voice calls and video calls are not on steemit	video calls and voice calls are good and amazing features on other social media platforms
There is no privacy in steemit, everything is transparent	they allow private chats between their user

In my experience on both platforms, I have seen the difference and have concluded that none of these social media platforms come close to the benefits we see on steemit, as such they cannot be compared to steemit, steemit is better in all ramifications
