Social media influences people in negative manner while some thinks it does not work that way.But, I agree with the fact that it provokes people in a bad manner rather than good. This is because of making fake promotions on lower-quality products, life-threatening advices and scams which question the tranquility of the influencers.
Firstly,people who get popular by social media term themselves as influencers and started to get paid promotion by collabrating with some unheard brands promoting their products without testing it properly attracting their followers to purchase the product without. This leads to lot of complications.For example,a food vlogger from India who used to give genuine reviews about street food at first had now started to collab and promote brands by glorifying the product by giving fake reviews lead to controveries and downfall of his image.
Secondly,some people term themselves as certified sepcialist without proper training providing advices by making short videos under lot of subjects such as health,automobiles, travel angencies and so on.This attracts lot of customers falling into their trap and making their life into a threatening one.For instance, a teen from Kerala died due to chronic intake of mineral water as diet without any proper meal and other nutrients by following an uncertified dietician who just give random unethical advices took a life of a teen.
Thirdly,some people opens up charity pages inorder to collect large sum as donation by scamming people and disabling the account afterthat.Additionally some influencers promote brands and cosmetic products without proper dermatological testing which had caused some fatal conditions to people.
In conclusion,although social media helps people to rely on informations and entertainment in finger tips yet some scams and unethical,improper and life threatening advices attracts the people which overshadow the positive attraction.
