What does social media in the future look like?

Hey Javikaur, I think first there needs to be big changes in hardware before the Metaverse / VR is truly disruptive outside of tech circles. Headsets are still pretty expensive and a fairly niche product which is far less functional and practical than a smartphone. Once the cost and inconvenience of wearing a headset is outweighed by the benefit of being in the metaverse, then I think we'll see massive changes in the way we communicate – at the moment there is a huge barrier to entry for most people

It's linked with the future of the metaverse.

Social media in the future will likely involve more personalized experiences, increased automation, and more sophisticated analytics to track user engagement. We could also see the emergence of virtual reality platforms, where users can interact with each other in a simulated environment. Augmented reality technology can also be used to bring experiences to life, as well as enhance our current social media interactions!

Interesting topic which I suspect will be revisited in the near future. Many great answers thus far in this thread. My take is that social media are more about creating content nowadays that making connections. TikTok identifies for instance as an entertainment platform where social strategies are being formed. Algorithms are calibrated to drive engagement by distributing content. To that effect, I believe that content creators will greatly increase in demand in the near future (already happening. As someone already mentioned earlier, AR is also going to be important as it will introduce more live experiences (live blogs interconnected with real life interactions in real time) thus further expanding live experiences. Naturally VR is also going to find a place as well, given the support for Metaverse and Web3 initiatives.

Over a long enough time horizon VR and the Metaverse should have some role to play, it's tech that is not going away. To what degree they integrate with online socialising, I'm not so sure, but a new version of second life ain't going to cut it. For Twitter & LI, AI is already here. With all the content writing tools that use GPT-3, social media is slowly becoming flooded with that content.

It feels like social is getting more and more varied. You have the traditional connect with friends and family (Facebook, Instagram), then there's connect with the world (Twitter, Discord), and then things like TikTok that are almost like little media agencies. If the TikTok model wins out, it will be more about showcasing influencers, and less about connecting with people you know. Curious which model will win out in VR. My bet is on TikTok/media.

Quite similar to black mirror metaverse

In the future social media will play a major role in our daily life. Maybe marketing is only done on social media platforms.

Influencers are the future for next 4 to 5 Years
