You know, I personally think it’s easier to become popular nowadays because social media allows people to share their life and talents with a wide audience. Trends and viral challenges make it possible for anyone to get attention really quickly. Also, being stylish or having the latest gadgets is much more visible now than before, and it can attract notice from others. People can show off their achievements or skills online and get recognition fast, which sometimes helps them become popular even outside school or work. So overall, technology makes it easier for everyone to be seen and admired by others than in the past.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s easier to become popular nowadays because social media creates more competition, so standing out is harder. Trends change very quickly, which makes it difficult to stay popular for long. People often compare themselves to others, and this adds a lot of pressure. Popularity online doesn’t always translate to real-life respect or friendships, and constant attention can be stressful, so not everyone wants it. For me, it seems that becoming truly popular is still challenging, maybe even more than in the past.
