covid brought everything online. business - education - work - grocery and what not
Now life is all digital - it has eased the life of a person by making them lazy by making life more comfortable

It is possible that social media is becoming more business oriented because of the digitalization and increasing needs of people to generate income online. Social media still serves as platform for socializing and connecting with your family, friends, etc. Both socializing and business can co exist on social media and many businesses now use social media to connect or interact with their prospective customers and possible they can build relationship. Social media is a big help nowadays specially to small business who are in the stage of start up.

It is true that that is the added value of having a social media platform. Karen really makes building a business easier to do through social media. Even if in the past, when we wanted to open a clothing store, we needed to buy a physical store. Well for now even that doesn't have to be done. Because currently trading clothes does not even need to have a physical store. Even an online store is enough for now. The point is social media also helps reach a wider range of potential customers or consumers that can be obtained.

Actually, that's the point, social media is more on the business side now unlike before that it was created for connecting to all
your friends and relatives, especially those who lost that connections.

Now, when checking your page, there are many recommendations about businesses and if you mistakenly click one of those pages, then expect you
will see a lot of the same pages.

But getting that point of yours, social media helps businesses most of those small time and freelance businesses.

social networks are still used to connect people with each other, not just for business.  it is up to each person's purposes and needs that we decide what it is, not let it decide for us. Many people are using social media for business, but that benefits not only them but also us as consumers.  we can comfortably shop at home without having to go out and save time and money when shopping online at a cheaper price.  I find that what it brings is more benefit than harm.

that is very right - I totally agree with you over this point

I also admit that every time I open social media, I personally look more for business opportunities that I can find on social media. Maybe even business activities have also dominated my activities on social media.

In fact, not only business but social media has also developed into a medium for learning and talent development. like in the world of writing. I also joined in it. especially on FB. there are many communities that we can enter to develop the profession we want to enter. and the point is social media can also be a place to learn in self-development before plunging into the world of work.

It must be admitted that at this time everything can be accessed on social media, but apart from that, social media is still a place to socialize with people who are far away, be it friends or relatives, but when there is added value, why not use it.
I am also the same, using social media to find the items I want to buy, all of this is inseparable from the effectiveness of social media and is well used by a group of people for doing business and vice versa.

I see what is happening now there is taking advantage of the situation, and as long as it's positive it's not a problem and even for interacting or socializing it's still there and it's still very helpful.

that is so true - social media has changed the lifestyle of people
it has become better and of course people have become more vocal and more creative - the brands are even contacting the influential people and getting their brands endorsed

The point is that today's social media seems to have provided all the needs needed by us as users. Well, looking for items to buy can also be done on social media, learning and adding insight can also be done on social media, even meetings or meetings can also be held via social media platforms.

Social media has been transformed to become more complex and better understand what we need. Even with the current sophistication of technology (AI), sometimes the advertisements that pass through our homepage have been adjusted based on the things we often search for or from our activities on social media.

But sometimes I feel a little scared too because I feel as if I'm constantly being watched on my cell phone and also through our activities on social media.

It even becomes an advantage when you are an influencer who has a lot of followers. That's why communities think of making content on Facebook just for the sake of views. And the ones that often trend are the ridiculous ones, or pranks that will wake up the viewers.

the point is like that and we can take advantage of technological sophistication to make it easier to find or sell something on social media.
improvements like that are very beneficial for many people, and as long as it continues to be in positive terms I think the use of social media is getting better and it seems that we are required to be able to follow it for our own benefit as well.

and for those of you who think that we are being watched because the ads that appear on social media are searches that you often visit, that's natural, but I don't think there will be any of our confidential data that they can hack.

Today's social media also requires people who want to earn income from the platform to become more creative people through creator content. And this certainly has a good impact on people who previously had hidden creativity. because now their creativity will be more appreciated on social media and get paid if their content is watched a lot.

But behind the positive impact on users who have managed to get income from social media. it turns out that there is always a negative impact that also comes as a result of this. that is, there are many people who deliberately create content that I think is too outrageous and even beyond moral. they create content lies (hoax) only to make their content viral. But positive and negative will always be there and complement each other in any case. So it depends on which area we want to stand. but what is certain is that social media has helped many people's financial lives today through business or content creators or whatever.

You can use that followers and use it as your market. The more people who follow you, the better the chance of making a good amount of money.

Social media somehow make it a good venue for freelancers and young entrepreneur's though it's not limited as even old timers
and established businesses already use this venue to target more people for possible clients.

A good ideas and sets of skills will allow you to maximize the benefits.

Delivery services are also at their peak right now, as most people don't want to go out; they just want to have delivery to their house. That's how lazy they are, or they just save time and money for them. People really learned that they just stayed at home and could also buy things without getting out. Unlike before, it is not that rampant and we have difficulties buying online, but now people are very literate on it, and even the old have transitioned to it.

[Semar Mesem]

Social media is no longer interesting now, I only actively use Facebook and Twitter, and most of the people I follow or friends are actively promoting, even on Twitter advertisers use top trending so this makes us often waste time because it doesn't match what we think need.

that is not true - social media is still popular platform. It is sometime interest of the person which is no longer intact.
Most of the time we are tired of social media and that is why we no longer are much interested in the social media

not just business but also they make themselves business as they are earning from it, like posting videos. A lot of things really happened due to social media, but mostly right now it is either we are just wasting our time to relax on social media or others used it to earn themselves, but still it is good for them as it helped them. Just imagine that without it there are no influencers right now that are giving us advice or, let's say, helping other people.

I think this is obvious when you visit Instagram. It became advertisement place in later years. There are like, at least 1 ad in every 3 pictures in my opinion, with big pages. Even if you follow rather innocent small accounts like ones that post pics and videos of Scotland (example), even they get sponsored content sometimes. I think this is main reason people started to pay for premium services. YouTube ads are annoying as hell. Twitter ads too (I kept seeing ad of hamburger nearly full screen on twitter before I subbed to twitter blue).

I understand what you will find when exploring each social media platform. because currently almost all social media platforms are filled with advertisements. And I sometimes feel quite annoyed with the ads that appear when I watch videos on YouTube. so I have to subscribe to YouTube Premium to get rid of these ads. But behind this, it actually opens up opportunities for those of us who have products that we want to market or promote. my friend is also one of the people who pays for advertising on social media to promote his product. and it worked. more orders lately. advertising costs can be covered with more income. so that making advertisements on social media is also quite effective. beyond promotion in traditional markets..

I agree when we watch YouTube, I'm a little disturbed by the advertising service, but that's in line with the existing algorithm, we can be free from advertising services by spending money. Now is the era where everything will enter the digital world, we will always see advertising services, other businesses, here we have to take advantage of opportunities. If we continue to be annoyed, then we will fall behind the others, so now I enjoy it more. I am also a person who is looking for new products from social media businesses, how many new items I buy because I see their business when using social media.

[Wong Gendheng]

Some social media currently contains advertisements and users are only busy with promotions, even on Twitter and Insgram that I usually use contain advertisements to offer sex services, they use tags that are popular so that we often waste time, when we report or block a new account will appear again.

[calonpa]

Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?

No, this is not true. There are less people using it for business in comparison to those using for social activity. Most of the people already have their jobs or studies and they are on social media for fun only. Less than 1% might be using it for business.

They are everywhere as they find the place a good venue to do business, even how many times you'll going to report the account there are many that will rise back and will continue annoying you while browsing around. It's now the nature of social media channels the services are more on selling and promoting to reach for wider audiences for a possible interest and earn sales and views.

We can't avoid or prevent it now as the developers itself are promoting these features to attract people who have the intentions to do business to maximize the use of their platforms.
