Hello my Fabulous reader. Happy Reading to you all. I am addicted to social media. Sometimes I wonder, what will be my life if I start uninstalling all my social media apps. I like to spend time on social media a lot. Sometimes for fun and sometimes to learn something. I am fond of synonyms and like to use it wherever applicable. I have even written one post on it. Do check it out. “English- The supreme Being“. Do not want to lie to you, I even see some rubbish videos. Some people have lots of time creating and editing. But what is amusing is that they have lots of guts to upload the same on social media. And yes, they get more likes and comments. Though all comments are slang, this is what they want. Attention and publicity. Netizens don’t understand that the more likes and comments, the more powerful the post will be and will flash every time on the first screen, urging more people to interact with that post.

When only Facebook was ruling, that time In India (I don’t know about other countries), there were several posts of undernutrition sick kids, with the message saying it needs 50k or 1 lac likes to save this kid. Sometimes they even said to write “prayers” in the comment section or something like this to save the kid. Yes, the post used to get that many likes and comments. As I mentioned earlier, the more likes and comments, the more powerful the post will be. and hence the revenue. Yes, people earn through this. But there was no proof, whether the post was genuine or not. Hence, there were many articles urging people not to like and comment. Well, I don’t have that article right now, because it’s too old.

To avoid this, funding came into picture. People took maximum use of this. and even succeed. and then came this lady. Click here to see what she did. She became very popular when caught. Such incidents make people stop helping others.

Still there are many post of soldiers or god’s, saying that a nude girl will get like, but a soldier will never get like. So I stalk this guy to check how much he follows his own rule. Laughter, his posts were full of nude girls. Such people create nudity and wants to educate people. Not only that, people follow dead people. I never understood this logic, how can you follow the person, when you know that he is already dead. There are many celebrities like this who are no more but their followers increased after their death. The celebrities or the family are not the ones who upload the pics in their social media account. It’s their PR team. And once the celebrity is gone, why will the PR team be with them?

Yes I do comment sometimes. Not on such content. But on the content who gives incomplete or false information. Recently, there was one ad on Facebook, regarding a newly launched high-rise building. The project is near my area and hence I know the area very well. The project said, “Sea view facing”. I commented, “It’s not at all sea view. It’s a creek view and this is Mumbai, not Maldives. So there is a difference between creek and sea view”. To my surprise, I got a few likes and also a few funny replies to that comment. In another incident, I was shocked to see one of the reputed companies, who projected lavassa as Italy. Lavassa is actually a failed city in pune and people go there for a one day trip. And yes, there is no Italy feeling in that city at all. Absolutely nothing. Obviously, I commented requesting them not to spread false information. But a few days later, they uploaded one video, where they literally showed us what to steal from a hotel room and what not. Like you can steal toothbrushes and all but not iron. Really?? Is it?? We did not know this. So unfollow and live a peaceful life.

So basically, You can’t ignore the post. The post is portraited in such a way that you will comment on it or like it. Some netizens did on that undernutrition fake post, I did on this incomplete information post. It’s like Love it or hate it, but you can’t ignore it.

Social media is vast. Yes, I do portrait my life in that. You can say it, “Attention”. I do it for that and also, this is my time-pass. I follow some useless handles, I follow some valuable handles too. I had posted rubbish content, I had posted some valuable information too. I did show off, I showed my real life too. I stalk, I have blocked a few known people from stalking me.

In the end, I will just say a simple thing: be active on social media, but be alert. Keep your notification on. and don’t ignore them at all. Be safe. Click on likes, Comment on proper post / friend’s post only. & Please don’t click on unknown links.

Thanks a lot readers for taking your time and reading this post. Also, have a look at my social media post. “Life at social media“
