with this I mean, get good at finding 100 persons that either: - would pay 1 euro a month for whatever you're doing next - would happily forward infos about whstever you're doing next to that friends of theirs who is really into the same niche (who usually would love to pay 1 euro/month)

Haha you nailed it :) I was thinking exactly the same before I clicked the link to open the discussion. EDIT: That said, if you like brainless Zombies, I heard that Instagram can be good for dating. Just go to a cafe every day and post a picture of your mug, to prove to the world that you're rich and have lots of free time.
It's up to you how you are using the tools. I use instagram to share the photos I took. Some people like them. Not liking social media is not yet on the level if "I do not read books" smug superiority, but getting there. Believe it or not there are things that are good on social media. Even on FB. E. g. in my country a grassroot initiative to help medics with PPE started by a celebrity raised more than two million eu…
The machine learning Twittersphere remains one of the best places to learn machine learning tips. Insta is amazing for photography.
A few things to consider: Why do you want to get good at social media? You mention spamming tags and subscribing to things that they don't care about. What is the outcome you want from this? Getting a lot of likes/RTs? Getting a lot of followers? If that's the outcome you want, then it sounds more like you want some form of community where you can feel appreciated or encouraged. Social Media is a vacuum of constant c…
No. I wouldn't use any popular social media if I could. It's for promotion of a project. To expand on the problem, I have only once or twice susbcribed to an email listing. I consider all the other spam, irrelevant and Will never check them unless forced (some sites do even when you pay them) and other missed to opt out. I don't like seeing people spamming follow me or subscribe to me everywhere either. I know the fu…
Is your project about puppies? If not then don't spam it!
It's low value marketing and you feel bad because you are deliberately trying to trick people. Maybe try to get your product in front of people who actually want it.

Where it's really useful is in connecting together casual acquaintances, in a way that wasn't really possible before. If I meet someone IRL, I can friend them on Facebook, interact, see similar interests, and meet-up. Before, this was much harder. I couldn't see that this one person I had a great conversation a month ago with is really looking for people to play board games. It's easier to know that an old friend actually doesn't live that far from you now.
Obviously, there are issues with this (eg. MLM), and it doesn't always happen. However, Facebook at least, is clearly a useful tool. So I don't know what people are talking about when they say "don't social media, socialize IRL". Not necessarily what you were saying, and you were addressing specific statements from OP, but I thought this needed to be pointed out.
I've made friends, started projects, had job offers, acquisition offers -- all through Twitter. Twitter opens up huge opportunities for meeting people who share your interests.
The single best resource I've seen on this is David Perell and Matthew Kobach's (recent) lecture on "How to Crush it on Twitter" [1].
They say:
- People treat social media interactions like real-life interactions: if you're selfish irl folks won't want to listen to you, so why would social media be any different? Be generous with good ideas
- Pick a niche and only tweet about that niche. This obviously has to be something you actually care about. Your niche is probably smaller than you think
- Practice and review: Post for 30 days and at the end of the month, review the likes/RTs and draw a green circle over what worked and a red circle over what didn't. Post more of what worked and you'll notice you're getting better over time.
It's an excellent watch if you are looking to deliberately grow your Twitter following and are willing to practice

In the offline world, much of what "trends" is stuff that hacks people's reward system. E.g., high-fructose corn syrup, french fries, nicotine, slot machines. It's bad for us long term, but satisfies our evolved physiological needs in the short term. Most of the trending content on social media is the same, and much of modern news and commerce has adapted to it. From what you've said, you're trying to win at the same…
> Find a small niche of people you can satisfy with earnestly good quality content. To do that, you need to find what's the online place(s) where they meet (forums, FB groups, subreddit, blogs...) or even create one yourself
