competition is high and to stand out they come up with great ideas and videos that are very appealing to
the viewers.

11. Lifts up your mood

There are a lot of people who use Facebook to lift up their mood or feel better about themselves.
Checking on to your older posts, talking to people who are geographically far away from you, checking
your feed for random posts are some of the reasons that make people use this social media platform.

12. You rarely miss out an event

Even if you couldn’t go out and attend some event or party, that doesn’t mean you missed out on what
happened there.

People literally update every minute of what’s happening on their profiles, so that people can see it and have virtual “fun”, and that is what people get addicted to, checking on others!
