Social media damages the standard of literature

The book opens the door of innocence for man and then takes him to the pinnacle of knowledge.
Social media has taken away our patience, allowing us to travel miles through the world of books page by page and feel refreshed instead of tired after this journey. Nowadays, when we read a line of five-seven lines, we get short of breath and we rush forward with our thumbs up. Despite this, there is a lot of writing on social media. Such writings are showered with likes and comments like chiropractors. Then the books of the writers who have become ‘internet heroes’ are published overnight but there is only one of them whose book the reader buys and reads. The book that sells is less readable, more used to decorate the show case and to take selfies on social media.
The trend of selfies with books is more prevalent today than with selfies with books. The problem is that it has become difficult to find a good and well-kept book out of the bombardment of book selfies. The remaining cancer has been completed by the preachers sitting on social media. Today, every book is a bestseller and everyone is a bestseller. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post, but this does not mean that good books are not being written or that there are not enough readers to read them.
Social media has done a good job, bringing good readers and good books to each other. He who is a serious reader searches for good books on social media and when he finds the book he is looking for, he takes a break from the internet and enters the world in that book. Then, when he returns, he brings back valuable information about the book he has read. This is how a book fair has started on social media, where readers, writers, librarians, publishers and booksellers have come together. Not only do they exchange books but they also play a role in attracting new readers.
In the village era, one cannot be completely detached from social media but one can be aware of how to use it. While social media has provided a platform for book readers, it has also created difficulties for serious and quality literature. There was also a time when a work had to go through a lot of scrutiny before it could be published. Sometime in the year and a half, if the work was published in a standard literary magazine or newspaper, then the author would be interested, but now the work is written directly on Facebook. So today there is a need for standard literature which the readers should enjoy reading. If a work is written on Facebook or social media, we should read it thoroughly and then upload it on Facebook so that the reader can get good literature.
