Why Facebook Doesn’t Pay its Users For Sharing Content?
Media has been capturing the lives of
human being since it has become an open and blatant picture of whats
going on all around the globe. Social media is the closest one to the
mankind in this regard. it impacts the daily routines and also the minds
of the human race. The names like Orkut, Facebook, Twitter and many
others now have become an integral part of lives.
Facebook, more specifically comes up
with the latest and known giant social media network of the time. You
just need to be registered on facebook if you want to spread and
maintain your social circle.
What Facebook is all about?
Facebook keeps people connected. That is
quite a simple answer but it provides the amazing features like sharing
content like pictures, videos, articles and anything you name. You can
put up status and check-ins too anywhere and anytime of the day. it has
also opened the option of tagging, writing on walls and sharing the very
own content too. This naturally rises a question in a mind that knows a
little stats of media and online market. That is facebook must be
paying its users a good amount for their stuff being shared to public.
What answer do you expect to get for this one?
Facebook not a good market to earn quick money
The answer is sadly no. Facebook doesn’t allow its users to
get paid for any stuff, original or copied, no matter what. Considering
other websites like youtube, dailymotion and other content sharing
websites, Facebook lacks this feature that keeps it a topic of debate
among circles. Users are in high anticipation to get this service
activated by Facebook. But Facebook has got its reasons to not make it
as commercial as other sites.
Why it doesn’t allow content sharing to be paid?
According to surveys done by facebook,
they reached to a conclusion that most of the users want to see an
environment that is ad free.
On asking people about their opinion of
promotional ads that are usually the main source of generating revenue
for the venture, they said it would be better to see much posts by users
than promotional posts. Facebook focuses on the social interactions and
communication process of the users keeping the business and finance
aside. If it starts paying its users for sharing their content, they
would have to generate a large revenue through pop up ads. That would
make its users frustrated and the uniqueness of facebook would fade its
color off.
How its different from platforms like youtube and dailymotion
Youtube and dialymotion are those sort
of websites that purely emphasizes on business aspect of the market. You
share your stuff and you get paid for the views or likes on your posts.
Its quite simple and easy to understand.
The videos being shared again and again
by the users will get you earn your stake. The website pays the user
through the revenue they generate by posting ads within the content
users share. That needs to get the promotional advertisements to large
extent. This, in case of Facebook is impossible since it’s a social
media website that aims to connect people together.
All for now,
