Nowadays technology gotten better so the platforms know what I like and what I don't like. One thing that the article convinced me to do is the download snap again. The author made it sound so easy to go viral. I've that doing these that is different can make you go viral.

hi Derlin, I relate to your mixed feelings about social media, especially after deleting Snapchat due to disturbing content. It’s encouraging that technology has improved, curating content to fit our preferences. Re-downloading Snapchat could be a great way to explore creativity and possibly achieve virality. I would also say to just remember to focus on positive content to ensure a fulfilling experience.
