I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the hive learner's featured post. Today we have a world that has very much advanced in technology and has evolved even to a point we doubted would ever happen, we had a time when he only way you can get medical advise is if your doctor visits you at home or you visit a doctors office but today things are completely different, you tend to get medical advise from both those who are qualified and even those who are not qualified, scrolling through social media your chances of coming across videos where the content creator dishes out health content is very high.
Those days we used to have just a few content creators in the niche of giving and sharing medical advise since it is one that requires the actual knowledge and the idea of medicine to actually create content in that niche while the other niches are being flooded and can be joined by just anyone and all they needed was a good camera, a ring light and they are set to start content creation. Today we have these other niches oversaturated and since everyone now wants to go into content creation, even those who don't have the slightest idea about medicine or medication are now forced into creating content about a niche they know nothing about just to be called content creators but forgetting the dangers of doing so.
If you scroll through social media today, we have so many people giving medical advice and sometimes you come across two different creators with different opinions on a matter and that leaves you confused and wondering who is actually right and which person's advise should you take seriously. Even those who actually studied a course far from anything health related are also given medical advice, now thanks to content creation everyone has an opinion when it comes to health talks and are misleading a lot of people because we spend more time on social media than we spend in the doctor's office or house that lives right close to us and for that reason we take just any advise we can get from them and then try to experiment.
As much as we have many who just go on misleading people with their health contents, you must agree with me that we have some people in that same niche that know health and are really dishing out tips to help us stay healthy and because of the many who are just there to called content creators, we cannot write off those who are genuinely there to offer help to all of us using social media. As long as the content creator has proven himself or herself to know health things, I am giving them a chance even more than a doctor that lives in my neighborhood that is yet to prove himself.
Our health is supposed to be a priority and not some grounds for experiments, so I do not support taking advise from content creators especially advise that concerns our health. I will only advise and take health advise from a content creator that has proven himself to know things about health or works in that line and decides to go into content creation to help other people since we spend most of our time online. As a Nigerian, you will agree with me that health content creators like Aproko doctor has helped more people than we can count through his contents, so I will believe people like him more than a doctor that lives in my neighborhood unless that doctor proves to know better than him.
