What does social media in the future look like?

Not VR, Metaverse. However more transparent and controllable recommender systems driven by NLU/prompt engineering will have a huge impact.

The future of social media is not limited to the metaverse. At thisapp we believe there is a huge opportunity for a social networking platform that is based around informal events. Check out our approach; here we would love to get your thoughts: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Too early to say. I mean metaverse and AI are all still in very nascent stages like internet in 2000's. Long way to go and evolve. But regardless, mental wellness needs to be in the forefront of whatever we build in the future. Enough damage has already been done by social media reducing attention span and keeping people hooked for hours mindlessly on short form videos. I hope it doesn't get worse.

Social media will differ depending on which lines the web3 is developed, which comes before the Metaverse. If today's start-up chooses the creator economy, security, and freedom model, we will have social platforms with full integrations; imagine an Instagram art account, which is also an NFT store. Likewise, when you see a TikTok video and like clothes, in the web3, I can imagine AI identifies the clothes, and with one click of a button, you can order them for yourself. Check the movie HER if you want to see how he web3 looks when implemented. When the Metaverse becomes mainstream, personalized avatars become a thing. Ready Player One describes the virtual world in which we have dived for a whole body experience.

Social media in the future is likely to be even more interactive and engaging than it is today. As technology continues to evolve, so too does our ability to connect with others online. Instead of reading aloud or passively scrolling through updates, we will be able to engage with posts by replying, commenting, liking, and sharing them. Additionally, social media platforms are beginning to introduce live streaming capabilities that allow us to share our experiences directly with Friends and followers alike.

I think AR and VR are going to do magic in the online shopping experience

Social Media is constantly evolving. There is a high chance what exists may not exist tomorrow. Although Instagram and TikTok are super addictive and can be there. BeReal is something new but is yet to prove its position.

Technologies will greatly influence social media in the future for sure, and in good ways, I suppose.
