Readers confirmed to "Emirates Today" that the time of "Social Media" earned some quick fame and undeserved value, noting that social media platforms are the means of rapid fame these days, and in many cases the audience gives some personalities value and affair despite the weakness of what they offer. Or the novelty of their presence already on these platforms.

In a survey conducted by the newspaper on its social media platforms, the readers of "Emirates Today" described "Social Media" as becoming a door to achieving great gains for some who do not deserve, and do not have the content they provide through those platforms.

The follower, Hassan Al-Dhahouri, found that the means of communication are not the only culprit, as television channels host celebrities without clear goals and community contributions, and owners of non-meaningful accounts that may have a negative impact on society and its members.

While Salem Bawazir said: "The platforms have become a platform for all empty vessels... and those with brains are almost neglected, because there is no supportive party for them and their efforts."

While the follow-up of the account holder (Um Bader) indicated the danger of what these people offer to the category of young people and adolescents, who may not have sufficient awareness, and are more vulnerable to being affected than others.

As for the follower, Abdel Hayek, he saw that the content of social media platforms is smooth and easy to reach large segments, which expands their influence on minds.

For her part, the participant, Baraa Muati, commented: "The doctor has become a blogger...and the blogger has become a doctor, and imagine the result."

A second commentator considered that the owners of some professions deserve glory and fame, such as doctors, engineers and lawyers.
