Given the importance and value of internet facilities and various social media applications, the formation of virtual societies or virtual communities is linked to two main factors. First, the presence of social media, which provides a variety of spaces and platforms for interaction and transactions, provides both a facility and an opportunity that can be utilized by anyone for various purposes. Consequently, the use of social media has become a trend and a lifestyle, and then a "necessity" in the name of a need to use it. In other words, the need for an information society, facilitated by digital communication technology, has become a precondition for the birth of a virtual society.
Second, a new public awareness of the importance of effective communication modes through internet-based communication technology has emerged. This has resulted in a paradigm shift in communication methods, from traditional methods that require significant time, effort, and expense, to modern methods of using internet-based communication tools through social media. Simultaneously, geographical space and physical proximity have become less important for interaction (communication). People generally believe that rather than wasting time simply giving or receiving something, it's better to do it online. If the gift is an object, it can be sent via courier, while documents, letters, and similar items can be sent via email, WhatsApp, or other media.
