Social Media Addiction Means a Waste of Money?
If you want to see the real concept of time is money, then look at the use case for social media. We are here talking about people who are casual users, not social media users as influencers who have already received payment for their posts or like big artists who have sponsors for each of their posts.
Social media users such as Instagram, Tiktok, and Youtube, mostly only as viewers, not as content creators.
Addicted to Enjoying Content
Unlike blockchain-based platforms, mainstream platforms generally offer the convenience of a variety of exciting entertainment content. It makes users who are content connoisseurs or viewers feel more addicted every day. Such users watch the accounts they follow every day.
Maybe these users argue that they don't pay anything so they don't have a problem enjoying the content on social media.
They do not realize that there is a time that they must pay dearly.
If they are addicted, they will always have time to watch the content of their idols who usually upload content every day.
They enjoy content without any rewards. It's different on the blockchain which has lots of rewards even for those who just comment if they get votes.
On the blockchain, users also have the opportunity to get curated rewards for those who vote or curate other users' content.
So users unconsciously spend their time that could be used for other things in their life that are more valuable than just enjoying other people's content.
Monetize Your Interact Time on Blockchain
Here we are not just focused on creating content on the blockchain. Call it HIVE, for example, and you decide to have quite a lot of HIVE Power.
With HIVE Power, users can have the opportunity to get rewards from their curation.
On the blockchain, users don't just waste their time like they just spend on mainstream social media.
User time is an investment in this. And users can become content creators to make their own money online, not just being an audience.
Users can easily make money online on blockchain no need to be big influencers with complicated requirements.
Social media addiction is practically a waste of money. Especially for those of you who have to pay expensive internet network fees every month.
So, if indeed you are addicted to social media, you can start reducing it by switching to the blockchain. You can meet new friends, and you are not just a spectator. You can create content that can be monetized even if you only have followers.

Great article! I believe that social media is a form of entertainment for a large percentage of people. It's like video games, people can waste a lot of time on them and become addicted, and they will also waste money. But if people upload their gameplays or do livestreams on the Blockchain playing they can easily earn some crypto for their gaming content.
I believe that if more people knew about the blockchain and how they can earn by just engaging in the community without having to have tens of thousands of followers like you mention, more people will give Hive and/or LeoFinance a chance.

Sometimes, people think that Blockchain just about an uncomfortable zone. People became lazy to learn how Blockchain works.
I’m sure once their understanding about Blockchain and crypto, then they will become addicted to Blockchain too like us :)
Thanks for reading

To achieve mare adoption or greater adoption I believe that people need to have more education and more belief about this new technology, also as you say, they have to leave their comfort zone.

Yes, leave comfort zone is important thing now. In my area people still afraid if I talk about Bitcoin and altcoins 😂😅

The key is to make the applications easy enough that people dont need to learn about blockchain or how it works. Most of us are not familiar with the details about cloud computing yet we use it everyday.
Ease of use is something this industry badly needs.

Layering platform and keys are complicated but for good reason I think.
“Old people” still want to platform that can recreate password if they forget about. 😅😴
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is true. We will see how it all evolves.
Many are starting to understand although there will be a portion that are going to require the paypal's of the world to hold their keys and store the tokens for them.

I always hate zoom meeting, but unfortunately my client from another city wants to do that. 🤣
Because of blockchain, I can get new clients and my skill improving time by time. Before the blockchain era, Huh, I just nothing.

A lot hive blockchain has to offer to us that we must just appreciate it. Most time the joy of even reading articles always pays off at the end of the day
Hive is shit
It is amazing that I converted my spare time in thousands of dollar in blockchain in less than three years. If I continue for next 20 years then it will be nice retirement account for me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeep me too, earn thousands dollar and I became full content creator. I resigned from big company and now Im living at small village with my mom and fully peaceful

Time could be much better spent, like sitting on a barstool all day long. 😂🍺🍻🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Web 3.0 will offer a new alternative to the social media addiction. Although I guess it would then be a work addition since people are getting paid.
Oh well, probably better to be addicted to Hive than Facebook or YouTube.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Be addicted with the good one. New era, so we have to switch our social media into blockchain. Even yeah still need general platform like Twitter to bring public awareness. 🦁🦁🦁
I deleted Facebook for long time. 🤣 Really f*cking shit platform

In the US, Facebook is a cesspool where baby boomers troll and attack everything they can.

Oh guys, thank you so much for always supporting my post. Cheers!

I have minimized the use of general social media (fb,insta) except for some communication with friends and i try to spend this time in here. I do this since steemit (i have been quite absent many times though). In general it's so productive to spend your time in here learning and earning instead of wasting your time in stories and such!

Now you can make comments on Leo post to earn Leo token if Leo stakeholders vote you :)

This is an wonderful post :))
I fully agree with you, the only problem is that most people are still skeptic and afraid to join
But as soon as some of their friends join, it will be easier to bring them over here. I say from the beginning, monetization is not the incentive - community, friends & entertainment is!

From blockchain, I have great friends like you and so grateful for that ❤️
We have been connected for a long time and still counting ❤️🤗
