Are you feeling lost with so many content creators across various social media platforms?! Sometimes it seems like the social network of the moment changes overnight, right? YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and now TikTok—one digital era at a time—we see apps becoming popular with young people who bombard the internet with content.
But the internet world isn't a Darwinian experiment where only the strongest survive. It might not seem like it, but apps can coexist and have content circulating between them without spoiling the experience for the user next to them.
Of course, when something new comes along, many people migrate to keep up with the trend, and end up forgetting about the others for a while. The only social network that should be crying now is Orkut, which didn't survive the arrival of Facebook; rest in peace: Buddy Poke, Communities, and Happy Harvest.
Ah, but how do you make a living online with so many possibilities for content creation? Each app has its own unique features, and that's what we're going to talk about now.

Is it fair to say it's the current favorite?! Maybe so, since some say you can't exist in the online world without an Instagram account. The social network allows you to post photos and stories with various filters, ranging from a light that imitates the sun to a question and answer filter.

You might think only your uncles are using Facebook these days, but it's still full of tools for publishing content. There you can share lots of memes, videos, quotes, and even automate your Instagram posts to be shared directly on Facebook, including feed photos and stories.

The app had many people hooked on it at the start of quarantine, with short videos mostly full of comedy and jokes. A feed that keeps the user consuming content from a wide variety of accounts in the famous "for you" section. TikTok arrived with a bang and also left many people looking like a confused Nazaré trying to understand the app's algorithm.

"When I got here, this was all just wilderness," a phrase we might hear YouTube say to other apps if it were a person. Today, the platform can even be compared to an online television channel, as we have access to a wide variety of channels and content. There's something for everyone: horoscopes, comedy, series and movies, etc.
So, José, what's your favorite app? Tell us where you spend most of your time consuming and creating content.
