I got to agree with this, comparatively LinkedIn has a good community.
May be this is the reason, most people thinking itās just for careers. Itās good actually.

Twitter Hands down, Best feature is Authentic accounts, So you can have some sense of accountability there. At least for me, I feel that way.

Tiktok, May be because they are short and sweet and full of tips and tricks, Thatās more my speed.

I personally find proposing BabyPips as a social media platform very interesting. The fact that we are interacting on a forum rather than a social media platform (Facebook/Twitter) is still participant to the same activity that the mentioned platforms partake in: connecting users. It is to be noted that the forum may be considered as the precursor to the social media platforms of today. My rationale follows.
The difference I see between a forum and a modern social media platform is the ease of commenting, that is, the formality of creating a thread with options to format text is no longer explicitly present on modern platforms that connect people. Another notable difference would be the ease in sharing videos and pictures besides text not to mention sharing a link with an automatically generated thumbnail. In short, the social media platforms of today favour ease of access, usage and availability rather then submitting tools for a properly formatted thread of comments (pictorial/textual).
So, if I had to vote for BabyPips in the context of a social media platform, I would vote for it albeit not in the top spots for the reasons explained in the previous paragraph.
As an all-purpose social media platform that does not necessarily connect like-minded individuals (for BabyPips being those interested in trading and investing), then I would not vote for it despite dedicated sections for leisurely talk. I would vote for a more modern social media platform as I did for this thread.

I tend to prefer Facebook. most of the traders and trading groups I have encountered there are really interesting. for market commentaries and rundowns of what went down during the week, I generally like to go through some of my favorite Youtube analytics channels.
lol. the best place to show your hate is on the charts. I wish you success in the giveaway though. cheers!!

I am kinda surprised that no one has mentioned tradingview yet. in my opinion, they are one of the best sources for market news and their chatrooms are also great.

Thatās true I guess they can also count as a social media platform - at least the chatroom / trading feed partā¦

2yrs down after being introduced to FX by my cousin I lost my job resulting from redundancy and Covid-19 related effects, Iāve been on Demo trading and it has been very interesting for me to learn that practice and getting enough information on trading really pays, my names are KEN MALDEAN KISIANGANI whoās trading FX now full-time and itās paying my bills under circumstances of losing my full-time job. I thank Babypips.com team for providing basic free education for all level FX learners. Iām a beneficiary of that. Iām informed through the portal of GIVEAWAY and I wish everyone whoās participating good luck in this community. Cheers

I use youtube because itās a cesspool of information. Anything and everything you wanna know about, you can find it there. Sign language, dwarf stars, rare insects, etc.
Everything from cat videos to celebrity gossip to Indonesian politics.
However, the danger in having such instant access to so much random information is that you get sucked in and time can fly by.
I have to deliberately stop myself from going on youtube and wasting time. Youtube short videos and tiktok short videos are the worst. It keeps feeding the brain in short bursts and the next video comes in before you even get a chance to think about what youāre doing. I stopped watcing youtube short videos by deleting the app. I stay far away from tiktok. Sure thereās lots of information, but it comes at a price. It feeds your short attention span so much that you start to lose your long attention span. Eventually, you have trouble paying attention past 5 minutes.
No bueno.

Information very watered down. Tiktok bad for the brain. Definitely avoid.

This is psychologically correct 
short videos makes our brains lazy and we canāt concentrate on long educative videos.

Iāve noticed that when watching a movie, after a few minutes I start checking my phone. As if the movie wasnāt providing enough stimuli.
This could be a result of getting used to watching different videos and getting different stimuli on youtube/tiktok short videos.
Anyone else feel like these short and continuous videos affect their attention span?
