In my years of observation on social media, I've discovered that there are three categories of people who exist on this space:
1. Producers:
These are the ones who generate the content,feed the minds of other people on social media and determine the social media environment. Please do everything to be here.
2: Consumers:
These are the set of people who consume content created by producers. Of course most producers are also in this category as well. But then it is a pity that there are a lot of people who exist only on this space. In this category,there are two sub-sets; (a) Selective consumers: People who select the kind of information they consume. Some of them have decided to only pay attention to pictures, comics and lewd content while some others have decided to focus on information that would get them better. (B) Nonselective consumers: These ones are the "anywhere belle face" kind of people, they take in all kinds- both good and bad.
3. Copiers:
Wow...what a special set of people they are. Many of them have never written anything original on social media except their pictures. Some of them are confused fellows,they are full time consumers who want to exist in the producers' space but have no content, so they copy from the producers and take it to their fellow consumers to make it look like they are also producers but na lie we know them. How? Because you see the same post in like five other places. Lol. Some persons won't be happy with this post because it looks like I'm exposing them. But no vex. The issue I have with many of them is that they copy without acknowledging the source of the write up.
I think everyone on social media should be on three levels.
Produce something as well, don't just be a consumer. Establish your presence with meaningful content on social media. If you don't know what to write, go and learn. And out of the abundance of the things you're learning,you will have things to write.
Be a consumer too,preferably a selective consumer. One who consumes things that are pure,virtuous and have a good report- whether videos,pictures or writeups. You can learn a lot from social media, don't just chat alone. Learn. When you see meaningful posts, don't say it is too long, find out time and read it.
Then of course be a copier, but copy with sense. Copy and share meaningful materials with your friends. Don't be stingy with information. Start with this one. And do not forget to indicate the source.
Thank you
I value you!
