I am happy to see that people are having good time on different social media platforms these days. Lots of people across the globe have become celebrity on Instagram, YouTube and Tiktok. Some of them are extremely watchable, others are just ok and a few can’t be tolerated but it is fine. Everyone has their own skill sets. But I always feel that whoever is sharing something on social media should always have sensibilities. People have a platform that does not mean they can share whatever they feel or want. This is not correct. Just for the sake of likes they can’t go to any extent. And people should remember that a good content will last long. Likes can be transitory and it won’t sustain so better to be good on content
I am a huge fan of social media and I have seen so many people have become extraordinary only because of their works on social media. It has given name and fane to many. So we should utilise it properly. Forget entertainment or cooking show, so many students in India I know have got benefited from YouTube channels. I remember during my time in 90s, I would search for hours and hours to understand one concept of physics or mathematics but now children straightaway go to YouTube and get it cleared. So we should respect this medium.
