If we do look back about the real purpose on why Facebook is been created for example.
A key encapsulation of what Zuckerberg believes early Facebook to be: a place that brings people together and connects groups of friends, so that they can then share information and ideas about the things that they’re passionate about.SourceSo this do really shows that this is really that intended for socializing.It is really just in a matter of time on which it did really become big then it is where people do really make use of
that thing to be an advantage to promote their business and services until it becomes a main medium on where people do sell out their stuffs and other things.
Im aint saying its bad but it turns out to become in todays standards.
In my opinion, the goal remains the same, but those who are using the medium decide to diversify their use and start making money or leaving from it, which is a smart choice since we cannot be wasting our data and not making any money from it, particularly now that data is expensive.
I like how social media is now used to make some money because, despite its unreliability, it has helped some people by giving them a source of income.
it requires a lot of hard work behind it to make a good content - it is not always that you just upload a video and you become viral in a day and would start earning money. Handling social media is a bit of task
