Social media is a business and it works with the ultimate goal of maximizing its profit

They want you to stay connected to their system for as long as possible so they can offer more advertising, that's why they want to hold you

and in order to retain you they need to offer you content and they do not have the ability to produce content, so the content is provided by you

You create the contents that build the most on the image that you would like to give of yourself and the rest of the people judge it

It can be explicitly with a ¨like¨ or a ¨dislike¨, just with a ¨heart¨ or just looking at their content

The networks collect all that data and with that information they can show you what hooks you the most, so they can maximize the time your stay connected

Social networks are specially designed in terms of algorithms, sounds, content prioritization, etc

so that this connection time increases

With the information they get from the things you say, things you like or you´re interested in, they can also show you ads of other companies that sell products or services of this subject, this way they earn more for advertising and bothering you less with things that you aren´t interested in

The number of followers is a social indicator of status, within the group or a show of power when sending a message to more people

The networks prioritize an algorithm that shows more of your content when it keeps people in the network longer

That is why to get more followers it is necessary that more people like your content And for this to happen you have to show only the images or texts that people like to see

These usually coincide with the same themes, the archetype of beauty, positivism, personal overexposure, sex, coincidence with the moral and cultural paradigm of the community, morbid in general

Here are social behaviors, types of alliances, where people tend to manifest preference for those profiles already suitable socially or that in turn show preferences for their own profile beyond their own real tastes, looking for pure exchanges of "likes"
