The way we are manipulated || Online manipulation

 These days the internet is full of clever and fake people, who use to act smartly and cleverly, resulting in changing your mentality and completely change your way of perception. They manipulate you by showing and describing incomplete information and by misleading you, by describing and representing anything the way you want to see and hence you literally believe them without even cross-checking the whole information and the database. You believe them because you found them actually intellectual with a sense of knowledge, that may or may not true and as a result, they create a curtain of delusion over your mind and hence fools you out. They all know how to act in a subtle way resulting in manipulating their whole audience.

This technique may be used for selling products by the marketing person or some salesman or by a leader as well. By this technique, companies are earning profits and the fake brands are surviving and creating capital. They use the same technique consistently, misleading you more, and finally make you think completely different. They change your ideas and your opinion regarding something in such a way that you have no clue why this happened and their agenda works out. Your whole knowledge, way of perception, and opinion ultimately get changed or you can say you get manipulated and literally you have no idea about it. This whole process of manipulation is a simple Marketing strategy people use these days to create their monopoly, maybe in terms of wealth, fame, or some political propaganda.


Emotional  Fools!

You just can't deny the fact, how emotional human beings are (considering the majority) and it's not that difficult to sell emotions online these days. Though it may sound a little rude but this is the fact and it can't be changed so, you better try to understand my whole perspective or keep on becoming a fool again and again. A number of clever people wordplay with our sentiments and finally end up making their profits and on the other hand, we get nothing but a tag of being manipulated successfully. Some leaders make false promises every year, brands show us their fake entity, influencers influence the youth with their fake lifestyle, etc. All this stuff may have no effect on the number of people but what about those who act accordingly after watching and listening to all this fake content. A child's mentality is so fragile and serving such shit would never help him prosper in life. Instead, it will create a sense of fake and a mocked character that will never lead him towards the step of success.

"Serve us the emotional content and see how easily we get manipulated by it". No offense, but don't you think this is the reality of people these days?

This is the reason, the number of scams occurs on a routine basis where people donate blindly and get fooled by others. People flow with the emotions and act like they lost their senses and desperately want to act in such a ridiculous way, ending up being fooled online and hence completely manipulated?



How to act?

The social media industry is very vast. Millions of people are there, who want to earn and grow more, and more so, in order to attain the same, they keep on selling and presenting the content that attracts the audience, no matter, whether the content is constructive or destructive. They literally don't care whether a person is taking it in a positive way or the content is creating a wave of hate and rage among people. 

So, we need to act smartly and we need to differentiate between the right and the wrong. Our mind works accordingly the way we serve it and hence we need to serve our mind with the best and the positive stuff, so, avoid consuming the bad stuff available over social media. 

Refer to books and journals instead of believing the content of some so-called intellectuals, who don't have a verified degree, let's ignore the degree, they don't have a complete knowledge even. So, how they are guiding you? Referring books can give you a clear image regarding anything. 

Don't believe everything you watch online. In the same way, don't follow blindly anyone. The main thing that needed to be highlighted here is the lack of data and the insufficiency of everything you consume online. You don't know about everything served to you online is whether factual and verified or just a piece of crap. You need to understand this thing and then take actions only after verifying the facts.

Hope this would help you a little and you will act smartly from now on.
