When utilizing social media platforms as a means of earning money, the priority is not money, but ideas, concepts, and creativity.
It cannot be ignored that social media platforms have now become a primary source of income for most people, making it appropriate to call them a career path that doesn't require much capital (money) to get started.
Take the social media platform YouTube, for example. From this platform, someone can earn more than a company employee.
You can also become an affiliate on TikTok. There, affiliates with a large number of sales can earn substantial fees.
Nope, many low quality contents are trending because their priority are money.
They spend money to get money, they create stupid contents and run giveaway, in order to participate the giveaway, people required to comment on specific videos. So, this make the content creators get views.
You would argue "if you think it's easy, then do it", well nah, I don't want to trade my privacy for money.
