What does social media in the future look like?

Everyday, we are undoubtedly evolving as tech-enthusiasts and I believe social media is going to be a huge disruption in our lives. Do you think technologies like AI, VR, Metaverse would greatly influence the upcoming dimensions of social media. Would love to hear your perspective on what social media holds in the future?

I agree. With huge amounts of data being collected every day, it's what we agree to give on social media. Technology is absorbing every inch of it and training itself to become a giant. It is somewhat of a dilemma for users who still keep a primitive mindset, whether to accept the evolving world or stay where they are. But of course, we can't just escape from what's coming next in front of us.

@rupal_sharma3 Agreed. I also think more data will be collected as well. It seems pretty far off for now, but with neuralink on the horizon, advertisers may have access to users' brainwaves in the future to make more targeted advertising decisions.

We're already surrounded by machines that can perform a variety of manual chores, so take a look around you. Machines will be able to perform more complex, intellectually demanding activities in the future. There may be fewer people who feel the need to work if more employment is available. So it's critical to strike a balance to avoid problems like joblessness and unequal resource distribution. However, even minor limitations can't diminish the importance of a more diverse and connected world.

Creating and sharing media will become increasingly easy as wearable technology becomes mainstream.

Surely social media apps couldn’t possibly fit any more ads into their interfaces? Well, you’d be surprised at how nifty these companies can be at popping an ad here and there. With the rising popularity of social media, it’s only natural for more and more companies to offer top dollar for an ad spot that millions will see. If anything, social media offers a more profitable advertising platform than print and television could ever dream of offering.

I have an alternate view. People will be more open to meeting new people face-to-face and less on social media. With all the gathered data and surveillance - each person will have a rating - there will be fewer violent crimes, so safe to meet in-person - people will be able to obtain the compatibility score before meeting the person In my opinion, any social media that can figure out a method to group compatible individuals together will survive. Here AI will play a big role. I can see a big role of VR and metaverse in education, but not much in SM.

@rach_ana This is an interesting take on the future of social media

@rach_ana Hi Rach, it's interesting you say this because getting people to meet face-to-face is something thisapp (the company I work for) is building towards. We just launched on Product Hunt, we would love to get some feedback. https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@oscar_wehbe Hi Oscar, I'll surely check it out.

social pages will become more conductive to enabling customers to respond directly without creating potential brand damage.

Checkout Farcaster, it is a sufficiently decentralized social network. It is an open protocol that can support many clients, just like email. Users will always have the freedom to move their social identity between applications, and developers will always have the freedom to build applications with new features on the network.

We think the future of communicating and interacting with other users and objects will be a mix of AR/VR/MR and blockchain. NFT to customize real objects -> https://www.sgozz.com/post/image... GeoPost and GeoCamera -> https://www.sgozz.com/post/geopo...

I think with image and text generating AI, as well as data collection and prediction algorithms, social media will probably be more personalized to your preferences. I think this will have the tendency to create echo chambers, since people will rarely see things outside of their own little bubble. I also think social media will "follow" you to other sites as well, since the data they collected from you could be used to build a marketing profile, which they'll sell to other companies as valuable advertising data. Like others have said, there will probably be more options to buy things directly from the site, which fits in nicely with marketing data being collected from customers and users.

Social media has already formed its own categories - 1. places to vent out - Twitter, Reddit and 2. LinkedIn—people hire, try to become influencers through knowledge sharing, and have light moments. The venting out places are here to stay-AR/VR will hugely influence how people can express themselves. The money-making side could be access to creator tools—better filters, AI-based image/video creation, longer videos, etc., and ads. LinkedIn-like platforms are probably going to create more space for events/announcements, press conferences, job fairs, newsletters, certifications, and more integrations with hiring tools—we will see monetization of such platforms beyond Premium and ads. LinkedIn may become a lead generation engine.
