What Is Decentralized And Centralized Social Media ?

The truth is that we have discovered one planet and that planet is called the internet which had to talk about the social media whether decentralized or centralized. We keep evolving to new technologies and as well the modern world. I will quickly explain the questions given..

Centralized Social Media

source

When we talk about centralized social media, it has to talk about where there's just one central storage location of data and as well a central rulemaking authority. This means that that for example Facebook, data that are used on Facebook can only be accessed by the admin and puts a restriction to outsiders against it's data. The ability to decide on issues are retained in the organization's Admin(s) and therefore every other offices receives instructions from the Admin.

Decentralized Social Media

This allows users to have more control compared to centralized social media. In decentralized media, no groups or organization has the general key or final opinion instead every user has the right to suggest or have full control over his/her data and as well easily generate your contents without checks. One of those platforms is Steemit.

Which One is The Future of Social Media ?

Well, from experience I've used and use both platforms for engagement. In as much as Facebook, Instagram, twitter are all Centralized media platforms which is very well dominated in the world and has lots of activities going on in all, they as well have engagements and one could easily get Information(s) yet the system isn't secured and you still don't have the 100% control over your account because it's been regulated from an admin. I've been restricted over 24hrs or 11hrs few times on Instagram and twitter for sharing links (good) to my followers to follow me up on twitter and as well on twitter but the truth is that if we everyone can promote steemit, and bring up nice ideas like for example : steemit does not have a channel for chatting either as a group or direct chat with anyone except you go over to discord channel or probably do justice to the reply box. If steemit had a room or a way of creating a chat room where either the whole steemit users are able to communicate or still chunk it to Communities, honestly it would be great instead of going over to discord channel.

Even at that, Decentralized Social media still holds the future of our social media platforms against security, transparency etc.

How steemit decentralization social media is better than Twitter and Facebook?

Hahahaha...truth be told Steemit Decentralization social media has no comparison with either Twiitter or Facebook.
Steemit is a million percent preferred than any of the aforementioned comparison.

• Steemit pays me 💯 of my hardwork - Facebook/Twitter does not.

• Steemit is Decentralized meaning it's 💯% secured with securitied but Facebook and Twitter even with their 2 -factor security setting, it's still hackable.

• On steemit you drop 100% original contents but on Facebook/Twitter you freely steal someone's sweat and intelligence without reference (very bad).

• On steemit I leave everything about cryptocurrencies and more ! But Facebook/Twitter gives me time to play around with trends that won't pay me
There are lots of difference between the the comparisons.. all steemit needs is to get publicized then eveyone would see the advantages of using a Decentralized Platform like steemit.

What do you say? How do Steemit social media change the lives of millions of its users?

I already was explaining that in my other question above but still let me add some points with a personal summarized story.

I'm a writer and I love it as a passion but the truth is that I've not seen an original,valid or well paid platform that would reward me of my ideas or sweat. I would write for lots of organization online and offline about 70% would be rejected and not paid yet they use it without referencing me and since we in Nigeria have no good and effective law guiding the country, everyone does what he/she likes not until I was introduced to steemit last year and I'm even grateful for it..
• I learn • I earn • I recruit. And it's all been better since I joined and I know bits same for most people that have joined.
