Good day dear Steemians, I Trust you are doing great? It's another wonderful day and this is my third article for the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 2. It's an opportunity to be here and post my article in this community. Today I want to talk about the Social media I use most, go with me as I show you my most used social media and why I use them.
Social media is a collective name for all websites that is based on communication, collaboration, interaction, and content sharing. it allows everyone to meet new people from any part of the world, stay in touch with friends and family members, we can hear news of any country without buying a traditional newspaper. Social media also makes online marketing successful as it helps create brand awareness, people can display and advertise their goods to get buyers.
The Social Media I used Most Daily
Here I will be sharing with you the social media that I use most days and my reasons for using them. The social media I use most are:

WhatsApp enable me to chat and call my friends and families with either audio or video call, it saves me some amount of money spent buying airtime as Internet data is enough for me. It is easier to use for interaction with a group of people, like I was in a group where the word of God is being shared every morning, likewise in my profession group where we learn more, sharing updates about our profession and employment opportunities. It is also an avenue to manage one's business and it consumes fewer data.

Facebook helps in connecting people, not only friends and family but people from other countries too. It's an avenue that can help in connecting with friends you have lost contact, through the person's name, one can get them back on Facebook. Facebook helps in marketing too where we advertise to friends and sometimes paid adverts so that our goods can reach more people in such a way that so many people outside our contact can see and with that, we get many customers.

Twitter is where I used to read news like Sahara report and other local news channel. Also I do go there when I feel bored and need to read some gist, trust me it never disappoint and lastly I use to read updates about cryptocurrency and exchanges on twitter, following new cryptocurrency projects handles for timely updates.

Steemit
Steemit, the king of them all, is also a social media but decentralized that I cannot do without checking in every day whether or not I write an article. With Steemit, I was able to learn a lot from other people's posts such as crypto academy lectures, markdown, hair, face, and skincare. It makes me develop both in writing and creativity. I also learn about people's cultures and most importantly Steemit rewards me for the time I have spent on it. Steemit is my first social media that pays for my effort, and yet I still learn from it.
Why I think spending more time on Steemit can make me grow and benefit in life than other social media
There are a few reasons why I think spending more time on Steemit will help and benefit me more than on other social media platforms and I will be explaining them below:
Differences between Steemit and other Social Media
| Steemit Platform | Other Social Media |
|---|---|
| It is a Blockchain-based blogging platform | It is not built on a Blockchain platform |
| Educative, interesting, and informative posts are made on the platform | Anything can be posted here whether it's relevant or not |
| It pays everyone posting on the platform irrespective of your followers | Can only pay if you are a popular influencer with many followers |
| Opportunity to learn more about cryptocurrency and other fields without paying | Learning about cryptocurrency and other fields is hard to come by, it is not always possible there unless you pay some people. |
| It is a decentralized platform | It is a centralized platform |
| Private chat, audio, and video calls are not possible here | Private chat, audio, and video call can easily be done there |
| Once the key is lost, one has no access to his/her account again | If the email or number used to register is still working, one can easily retrieve the lost password |
| Plagiarism content is not valid here | All posts are valid whether plagiarized or not |
| Hardworking and serious people can be found here | Anyone both lazy and hardworking people are found there |
| Commitment and consistency are important here | No need for commitment and consistency. |

Conclusion
All Social media platforms has brought the world closer to us, as we can meet, connect and interact with people from all over the world, but somehow some people on other social media platforms made it seems childish with their unhealthy competition, conversation, and fake lifestyles.
Steemit is the only platform that pays every individual that can post quality articles without being an influencer, all the posts made on the Steemit platform are interesting, and educative and with the Proof of Brain plagiarized content is not tolerated. Steemit helps people to be financially stable and I love to spend more time on Steemit because of all its great attributes.

OPINION:
Hmm 🧐🤔 A bit of patronage here.
I understand the sentiment, Steemit is rewarding, far more than other social media platforms except for users who are monetizing their accounts.
However, to say Steemit teaches more than the rest, especially considering that you said you use Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp, seems a bit of an overstatement. If you've learned more on Steemit, that's fine but generally, it is difficult to argue that Steemit is ahead of other social media platforms in terms of educational content.
Thank you for your comment on my post, you maybe right saying other social media are more educating than Steemit but I wrote how it is for me. Thank you.
It's alright. There's so much to learn on Steemit also.
I wish you all the best.
Yes, social media platform has given users countless advantages and disadvantages as well, Sometimes I do sit down and imagine a lifestyle without social media. nevertheless Steemit has proven that it is worth engaging because of numerous benefits you get as a user like you have highlighted in your post compare to other social platforms

Excellent post you shared with us today. You have the Steemit Platform and other social media to differentiate between them. You're right, it's a decentralized platform, we can get rewards from sharing any content here and much more secure than other social media.
Yes, Steemit is a decentralized platform in which we learn and earn by writing content. Thank you for reading.
It’s clear that you are an advocate for Steemit 😊
I know so little about the other social media platforms that I have no other choice but to agree with you on Steemit. Steemit is my social media platform 💪🏻
