Forums remain popular among online workers who wish to remain anonymous

While there are some social media websites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter with a large number of users , the users are expected to use their real name, denying them privacy. They also have to be very careful about what they post on the forum, especially young people, since the social media posts could affect their career prospects. Hence individuals who value their privacy, and wish to remain anonymous online, can join forums. While there are a large number of forums, only a few are paying members for posting at present. In some cases, the owners of the forums which pay members for posting are being harassed and are not making any money from the forum, using their savings or personal income for paying members.
