    I know it's been a common theme on this thread, but as an expat I use social media to keep in touch with people back home. Right at the moment, that's been so important. I have relatives living in some of the hardest-hit areas of Australia, and I'm glad that I'd be able to know as early as possible if someone I love were to catch coronavirus.

    In the past, Facebook and Tumblr were basically curated meme factories and Instagram was for keeping track of my friends with better lives than me, but now... well, it feels like everything's so much more serious right at the moment.

    I typically use social media to chat with my friends and family, but I also use it to watch streams and videos. The social media platform I use mostly is Facebook followed by Instagram. Lately, I've been spending too much time on my phone scrolling through Facebook that I started having headaches, so I'm cutting down on social media for a while.

    I've been using my social media accounts a lot recently to grow as a person. I run a blog so I often increase my blog traffic through my social media posting and media.

    I like to keep up with my friends and influencers.I think to me I just like how people share their daily life and I'm able to share mine as well.I also enjoy how you can meet some new people you may of never been able to in person.

    I use social media to connect to my family and friends who are far away. Also, it has helped deliver messages to them just like the speed of light but that depends on your internet speed and connection. Social media connects people, related or not related for something relevant and ongoing right now, for example it brings news. Unfortunately, not all news are true, it might be fake and can learn to argument of many people. For me social media is half positve and half negative.

    Other than to connect with friends and family I use social media as a workplace. I'm a digital marketer by profession hence these platforms come in handy when doing my work. Social media platforms are also a great source of information and knowledge to me.

    I use social media, mainly Facebook, to stay in touch with friends and family scattered all over the world. I also have a blog and constantly have to share my articles across various social media platforms including Reddit, Twitter and Instagram. I probably wouldn't have a need for all other platforms bar Facebook if I didn't have my blog.

    I use social media to entertain myself, and to promote businesses which will get me a commission or something in return.

    I don't only use social media for connecting with people. The biggest part of my social media usage is mostly just killing time or entertaining myself. Advertising products or something is also a good use for social media platforms.

    Online media is an ideal vehicle for communication among loved ones. It is simpler for us to stay connected in spite of everybody's actual area. Today web-based media affect how dispersed families can stay in touch. Past the still valuable emails, the utilization of web-based media permits loved ones to stay up to date with the latest on their news. Online media stages offer incredible freedoms for families to appreciate the security they need with the connectedness they want.

    Social media, I am not a big fan of. Yes, the occasional posts on Instagram to keep your feed up to date is acceptable, and don't let me forget planning to get together with your friends, but social media can be a huge downfall, especially when people start comparing themselves with, for example, Instagram models that have plastic surgery and a full-fledged face of makeup, every time they leave the house. I think Instagram, especially for girls is more consequential than influential. Let me reiterate, Instagram can be extremely influential and that can be the root of the problem. The internet is full of fakes and lies but on and on girls and boys continue to judge themselves based on the most unrealistic standards. It's unfortunate to see how social media negatively impacts our generation(gen z).

    Ive never really used social media correctly (comunicating and interacting with other on the site.) and only used all the useless apps just for keeping tabs on people i care about (definitely not stalking) just so i could keep up with them when i meet with them later.

    I used to use social media only as entertainment. But one day, before going to bed, I decided to analyze the time I spend on social media every day. Every day I used social media for more than 5 hours, which frustrated me a lot. But I realized that my disadvantage could be turned into an advantage. I decided to create an Instagram account with entertaining content. I got my first 10 thousand followers pretty quickly because I applied for 1394TA, and for a good reason. Now every day, I sell ads and make good money from it.
