How to increase the efficiency of a social bar?
If, when reposting a material, the wrong picture and description are displayed, you can manually use special meta tags that are understandable to all social networks to indicate what, how much and how should be displayed. If this is not done, then random pictures and descriptions may be displayed on social networks. It's unlikely you need it.
If social meta tags are filled out correctly, posts will be correctly perceived by social services, because they indicate the type of material, a relevant title, and a link to the desired picture.

What are we looking for on social networks, what are we losing for them? Today it is almost impossible to imagine your life without social networks. I myself am a user of some of them, but I cannot call myself active and dependent. My accounts were created, first of all, to popularize my personal blog, but in fact there were more disappointments and dashed hopes than a desire to further develop my pages.
...What is he looking for in a distant land?
What did he throw in his native land?
M.Yu. Lermontov.
I’ll start by asking myself – what am I looking for on social networks and could I live without them? Of course I could live. What if it’s not so global? I can’t give a definite answer. I will say this - you can live, but it will be difficult. Most of us would probably answer the same. There are many platforms, we most often post on several and get something different from each. They probably complement each other, and as a result everyone finds what they are looking for.
Gotcha...
Social networks have burst into our lives, captured our minds, and it is unlikely that we will ever get rid of this addiction. Precisely dependencies. I don’t think it’s worth calling it harmful yet, but you can’t call it beneficial either. Like a powerful drug, online communication has literally enslaved many of us (online life). Some, however, calmly coexist with this for now, but it is worth recognizing that they are already in the absolute minority.
Even the expression “man is a social being” today has acquired a completely opposite meaning. Initially, human sociality was presented as a counterbalance to his biological essence, i.e. man is more intelligent, more socialized than his primate ancestor. Now many people use this term, linking it to social networks, due to the consonance of its constituent words. It is not right.
Social networks undoubtedly contribute to socialization - they develop interpersonal relationships(they move us away from the monkey), but at the same time, no matter how much we want it, depriving them of live communication. This, in turn, destroys, changes, deforms, distorts the true socialization of a person, as such.
This is a completely new form of communication. A form that promotes disunity, division, destruction within species (human) biological connections and relationships. At the same time, a huge number of all kinds of “friends” that we acquire in the virtual world, create an illusion presence, as if spiritual unity, communication, finding interesting connections, sharing life experiences, etc. But this is just an illusion, akin to alcohol intoxication, in which a person gains faith in the absolute awareness of his actions, etc., but it’s only HE who thinks so, but in reality...?
A new form of communication...
My attempts to use social networks to promote my personal blog were not particularly successful. The sluggish reaction to the publication of announcements was disheartening at first. I fully admit that my posts cannot be liked by all my friends from social networks, but the lack of any reaction to the posted material makes me think... It turns out, as in the joke... “either the ducks flew high, or they threw the dog low...” - or the content is like this or the readers are not the same. By the way, in discussing any other topics (not mine)great verbal activityis also not observed.
With all this, it is difficult to imagine your life without Odnoklassniki, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, etc. Which platform to give preference to, everyone decides for themselves, everyone is looking for something different on social networks.
We control the level of immersion...
To give up everything at once is to deprive yourself of something big, important and meaningful. It's probably worth admitting. But the level of immersion into the abyss of “socialization” must be kept under strict control. Urgently surface if necessary and still try to stay on the surface more, giving preference to live, real, human communication.
