Popularity of Social Media

Social media networks are useful platforms. However, there are various things worth pondering. Attention is needed for reading posts on networks. Usually posts appear moment by moment. Hours spent on social media networks and other websites need to be spent usefully. When more and diverse people use a network, it gets better. Diverse people and diverse posts make a network interesting.

It is strange that social media networks sometimes suspend an account without any reason. A user wonders why it happened and how to resume it. Social media networks are effective in connecting people. People are therefore the basis of networks. A network flourishes when more and more people use it. Users should not be ignored by networks.

Sometimes a website do not let know clearly its options for those who like to send posts on it. When a user engages with the website to post on it, new requirements appear and become obstructions for posts. It discourages users.

Social media platforms became popular in a short time because of giving a fair space to individual voices. However, it seems some social media platforms are having an increasing inclination to follow print, electronic and other media in limiting the individuals and individual voices. Individuality made social media more useful, practical and popular than the print, electronic and the other media in a comparatively short time. There are more individual voices on social media than on the other media. Social media gave fair space to individuality in a world of media. Let us hope it will remain so.
