Hello my beautiful people of Steemit, this week I present you my assignment 5 of the class of the teacher @yousafharoonkhan, to whom I thank him for giving us this class, where we learned a little more about centralized and decentralized social networks, and we also learned how to create a community in Steemit.

1. Write the definition of Decentralized and Centralized Social Media Platforms in your own words.Explain in your own words the difference between decentralization and centralization Social Media Platforms (answer should related Social Media Platforms . (answer must be written in oun words, copy paste or from other source copy will be not accepted)

Centralized social networking platforms

-

For me the definition of "Centralized Social Networks" is something very simple, I can tell you that it is a social network that is controlled and governed by an authority, which can make the decision at any time to block or suspend your account, it can also make use of your personal data or personal information for their own benefit, As a personal experience I can say that I made several publications on Facebook in the Marketplace part, where my publication was about the sale of some products, and facebook always forbade me to publish because it did not comply with facebook policies, something that seemed very bad because it was product information for sale, the truth was not offending anyone, I just wanted to sell some cakes.

Decentralized social networking platforms

-

Now I can tell you about the definition of decentralized networks, this time I speak from my experience with Steemit, it is a free network that is not governed by anyone, but works on the blockchain, and gives all users total freedom to use their Steemit account, You can publish any topic of your choice and you have the security that you will not be blocked or that your account will suffer the unexpected closure, I have heard many youtuber who have told us about the unexpected closure of their account, because Youtube which is a centralized network took the decision to close your account without warning you. Instead in a decentralized network this will never happen, besides that for all the work you do on your account, you receive a payment as a reward for all your work done and for all your effort, and this is something that differentiates a decentralized network from a centralized network, where you never charge anything despite all the work you do to grow your account. I also know an account of a Youtuber couple @heyitspriguel who told us, that the platform decided that they were no longer going to pay them for their work, so they stopped recording their content videos.

Difference between decentralized and centralized social networking platforms

-

The truth is that the difference between the two is very noticeable, because the centralized social network does not give you the freedom that the decentralized social network gives you, the difference lies in the total governance of the centralized network, which has all the authority over your account and does not allow you to express yourself freely, it can block you, it can suspend you or close your account without telling you anything, while with the decentralized social network you have total freedom of expression and you will never be closed or blocked, you are the only owner of your account and the only one who has power over it, no one else has power over your account and besides that you can earn money for all the work you do in your decentralized network, however in the centralized network for more years you work on it, you can never get the profits you get in a decentralized network.

2. Which One is The Future of Social media ? Decentralized or centralized Social media.(answer must be written in own words)

-

I think the future of decentralized social networks is huge, this was born and I do not think it will ever die, people knew it and they will not let it go that easy, because it gives you many opportunities and benefits, allows you to see rewards for all your hard work done on the platform, ie, here you do not work for free, and also you own your account and own your content. I think that the decentralized network is already becoming a lifestyle for people, and is a project that has a great future and potential, and that will continue to grow hand in hand with the world of cryptocurrencies, blockchain and decentralized network, so this is going for long, and will continue to be born more similar projects, many businesses are already part of the decentralized network and that leaves much to look forward to for the future.

-

And the future of the centralized network is that it will continue in our lives, because people will never get tired of sharing their lives with the rest of the world, even if they don't charge a penny for it, but just to maintain a public life or just because they want to share with the world their day to day life, or just to keep in touch with their family and loved ones, that is also valid, but it is likely that many will migrate to the decentralized network, and they will have to start using new strategies to keep their audience captive, but I don't think it will die with time. The centralized network is doing many projects to renew itself day by day and keep itself in time, Facebook is one of the most famous and yet it continues to grow.

3. How steemit decentralization social media is best than Twitter and Facebook.(answer must be written in own words)

-

Steemit is definitely better than Twitter and Facebook, because first it allows you to earn money for your work on the platform, you feel that your work is valued and is taken into account and also this work that you share on Steemit, which is quality content makes the platform grow, because that's how Steemit works, we vote for quality content and this allows the platform to grow and to continue to function. Steemit gives you the opportunity to share your content, your work, your lifestyle, your daily life and you may be able to get people to like your content, appreciate it and vote for it, and so you are being rewarded for all your work. It also allows you to create and participate in hundreds of contests that gives the opportunity to those who do not have much content to share, with this you promote the creativity of people to generate quality content, here everyone can publish and win for the content generated, and we also create strategies to make everyone can participate and win.

-

Instead with Facebook and Twitter, you only have the opportunity to share photos, statuses, comments, without receiving any earnings, no matter how often you post, no matter how many followers you have, no matter how many years you have on the platform, Facebook and Twitter will never reward you for all the years of loyalty, I have been on Facebook since 2007 and I have never received a coin from Facebook, and I have not received anything from Twitter either. And this is why Steemit is much better than these social networks, because it allows you to monetize all your content and diversify.

4. What do you say? How do Steemit social media change the lives of millions of its users?(answer must be written in own words)

-

Of course Steemit changes lives, I only have 4 months publishing in Steemit and they have changed my life completely, before Steemit and the coronavirus crisis, I lived depressed and without desire for anything, I was also unemployed and with a daughter to support, therefore, Steemit gave me back the desire to move forward, and to move forward with my family and to provide a better quality of life, I also keep my mind busy every day creating quality content, and participating in contests or looking for a topic to share. I can't be more grateful to Steemit, which makes me want to work harder every day to keep generating content and give back to the platform everything it has done for me, increasing my Steem Power and helping new members. Now I want all my friends and family to be on Steemit so they can benefit and grow the platform by giving it more power.

5. How can we make money with Steemit's decentralized social media.(write your own experience)

-

I think it is the easiest way to earn money, because you only have to share content of interest and that is of quality, to be voted and you can be rewarded with Steem Dollar, which you can then change to your local currency, you also earn by delegating your Steem Power to communities, you earn by voting other publications, you earn by participating in contests, here in Steemit you have many ways to earn money, you can also earn by exchanging your cryptocurrencies for other currencies, in exchange houses, you can do tranding or Holding and all this allows you to perform Steemit. So it is a great platform that gives you many opportunities to generate money.

6. How to create communities on Steemit social media ( practicle step by step ) & Promote your homework post on two social media ,twitter and facebook (just share link in comments area)

In this part we have to create a community, for me it will be the first time interacting with Steemit creating a new community, how exciting, here are the steps:

Step 1

-

I log in and go to the Steemit home page.

Step 5

After clicking ok, we write down the password of our community, it is a very important point.

Step 6

-

We have to pay 3 STEEM to be able to create the account, so we accept to create the account.

Step 7

-

Then it will appear that we already have the account created, and we will go to our new account.

Conclusión

-

I think that decentralized social networks are the best creation in the world, before I thought that centralized social networks were the best, because it allowed you to meet other people and it also allows you to stay connected with your friends and family, you can share your life in your account and thus keep all your contacts updated about your life, or you can also meet new people from many places in the world, it is a way to stay connected in one place. But with the decentralized network of Steemit you have many more possibilities, you can share your content and besides that you can generate income from home, I think that since I'm in Steemit I hardly use my Facebook, because I feel that it makes me waste my time and my content is not valued by anyone. And with the likes I generate I don't earn anything, but just that, a like. So this wonderful world of social networks has its pros and cons, but you can use them to your advantage as you see fit.

-

Nor can I take away the merit of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram because they have a specific audience and for example for businesses it works very well as a starting point to publicize their business, so it works as a catalog of their products. But for those of us who don't have a business or company that generates enough traffic, we can use platforms like Steemit.
