I’m sure that you have used social media before. And you might be thinking about what the pros and cons of social media can bring. Well today I can answer that questions, and give you 3 pros and 3 cons, as well as examples to help you understand how social media can bring society both good and bad thing.

The first thing that is good about social media is that people are able to make money. According to reserch, you only need 1,000 followers on twitter or facebook to make 10 cents per week! Permotions on apps like YouTube which can give you 10,000 to 25,000 depending on how much subscribers you got. I have already got my first promotion (50,000 subs) and I am working on my second one!

The second thing that is good about social mediais that you are able to communicate with people all around the world. You can communicate with friends and familys, and you can share pictures and you can also face-time to see your friend face to face so that you don’t miss them.

The third thing that is really good about social media is that you can get targeted advertizing. TA is really useful especially when you are struggling with coming up with a idea like for a YouTube video. Once I was planning to do a video with my friends about a game but we were really struggling with an idea (this was on FaceBook). And on the next day I recieved a AD that the game had a new event coming up after 3 hours ‹—(I actually forgot how long it was) and that gave me a really good idea.

Now I am going to talk about the cons. The first thing that is bad about social media is that there can be lots of misinformation on websites like Google.com. There can be misinformation like wether the earth is flat or not or can infinity be written as a number. These mis iformation are really annoying and can make lots of readers confused.

The second thing that is bad on social media is that people will hack your personnal account wether it is on a game or a website. One time my account in Diseney+ was hacked and I just payed for a 1 year preinum account.

The third thing that is bad on social media is that there will be lots of identity theft. That can be really dangerous and people will have nearly all control of you. For example if they hack into your bank account than they can steal your money and if they hack into your ID, they can change it and what your look like and you can’t even go on holiday because the airport won’t let you.

So today I talked about the Pros and Cons of what social media can bring and I hope thta you can avoid the Cons and go with the Pros.

There can be misinformation like whether the earth is flat or not or can infinity be written as a number. Misinformation can be dangerous because when people first see this, they may think it’s true and they might go around spreading these lies, and affect other people and make them believe these lies. 

The second thing that is bad on social media is that people might hack your personnal account whether it is on a game or a website. This is bad because it could result in losing money, and giving personal information to criminals. One example of this happening is the one time my account in Disney+ was hacked and I just paid for a 1 year premium account.

The third thing that is bad on social media is that there will be lots of identity theft. That can be really dangerous and people will have nearly all control of you. For example if they hack into your bank account than they can steal your money and if they hack into your ID, your appearance may be altered and you can’t even go on holiday because the airport won’t let you.

So today I talked about the Pros and Cons of what social media can bring but I think overall social media is good because it can help poor people to be rich, help to make the world a more social and the negatives are not so bad because they’re so rare, and you can avoid them by learning more about social media and how to avoid hackers and identity theft.
