The importance and role of social media in today’s world cannot be overstated. Businesses, institutions, organizations and companies, both small and big, all require, today, the use of social media to advertise/grow their products/businesses. The influence of social media has even filtered into the political (election) space, as seen in the United States during the President Obama tenure and even the now in the Trump era. Social media is a tool used to greatly influence change socially, and for the foreseeable future, will continue to be so. Social media moguls like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, etc., for their ability to draw their billions of users globally as well as their omnipresent media coverage, play a major role in digital economy. Companies like Facebook, for example, have generated billions of dollars from user-generated content, with these monies shared among operators and shareholders, and this isn’t just peculiar to Facebook. It is common practice among many social media platforms as they are all almost completely centralized. These companies completely neglect their users, the ones that contributed to the growth of these social media platforms in actual sense via their engagements and shared contents. They are only concerned about getting as much people signed on to their platform for free so that they can make money off users offered ideas, messages, contents and personal data through sale for humongous sums (billions of dollars) to advertisers.
The fact that social media companies are making money unjustly from the sale of user’s personal data is not a good thing. Agreed these companies have the advertising power that advertisers need, but they should be making profit/revenue off the advertised content and not from the sale of their users’ personal data. As is the trend today, social media platforms are only an intermediary for advertisers, and advertisers just pay for the user database of these social media platforms for increased efficiency and effectiveness of targeted advertising. Hence, details of our social life are used by social media platforms for personal aggrandizement.
Moreover, these centralized social media platforms are susceptible to security challenges like hacks, censorship and advertisement abuse, leakage of personal data, etc., just like it happened with Facebook recently.
However, Foresting has come to change the narrative. Foresting is a content-centric platform which generates its revenue from contents on its platform, backed by blockchain technology. In other words, it is a novel mobile social media service with top notch UX/UI and a robust technology with the ability to host vast contents, including videos and images.
Interestingly, Foresting is blockchain based. Foresting also upholds good and quality content creation unlike it is in traditional social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc. Contents created on Foresting is evaluated and are centered on user voting and not valued on traffic generation. This way, we believe a better content culture will be created. Foresting also rewards its users who are the main source of the contents it hosts, fairly, unlike the others (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc).
