Posting on social media carries risks, but it can also provide significant benefits if you view your online presence as a permanent record.

Social media companies are like the machines in 'The Matrix,' using users as batteries to generate content and profit.

Media companies excel at cross-linking their content, which helps them maximize the value of their articles and pages for SEO.

Social media platforms monetize user data by analyzing behavioral patterns and preferences to target advertisements effectively.

Successful companies like Facebook and Yelp demonstrate that the real value often lies in the network or content, not in charging for access to the service itself. The real value of a network like Facebook is not just its features, but the connections it facilitates among users, which is why it became so disruptive.

Envy fuels social media engagement, driving users to seek validation through likes and comments.

Viral growth occurs when users have such a great experience that they recommend your service to others, leading to organic growth without additional costs.

If you use social media strategically, it can benefit your career by showcasing your talents and skills, creating a positive online presence.

We must be aware that everything we post online is permanent and can be monetized by others, even if we think it's deleted.
