What will be the future of social media?

by
•
We are witnessing social media moving at an unbelievable pace. You wake up everyday learning about new trends. With all the hype around meta not being able to match the expectations, to Elon Musk doing some peculiar activities with Twitter. Are we about to jump into the new dimension of social media? If yes, then what are your thoughts?

no code will allow everyone and every company to create it's own micro-social plateform. Live conversations and deeper debates in smaller communities will rise. As awareness of the mental health issues caused by social media and abuse of entertainment will rise, people can try to use social media for real-world causes and feel-good interractions. The climate and environmental crisis will make it less and less probable for a certain subset of people to use social media just for fun. to illustrate, see how some people use Geneva app or Slack as a small scale social Media, and as for some, private messaging has become the main way to connect with people.

@eve_angelique I agree but I have been hearing about such changes for a long time but haven't seen much change to be honest. Maybe people don't want deeper topics to be a mainstay in social media.

@alessandro_canella The social media I use is only topic-focused : a Genevaapp home for natural hair care, and a slack space that's basically used as social media for my church. I think there will be more and more of these communities, and those of us who like to think will form a subculture using our own communities' platform. We are too conscious of social media's bad effect to keep letting big companies dictate what news we get, and what people we interract with.

@eve_angelique Interesting! Thanks for the new insight

According to eprocurement software, The same holds true for social media advertising in the future. When first introduced, social media served largely as a means of mass communication. To counter this, the focus of future social media platforms will shift to individualization.
Alessandro Canella
@katherine_desilva Ohkkayyy, I'll consider this point.
Karis Balôck
@katherine_desilva I would not say individualisation but it will focus on smaller communities.

@eve_angelique this is true

Hard to say what is the future of social media because it is an extremely broad term. The metaverse in the long term has a HUGE role to play in this space. In the near to medium term , I think paid services will start becoming popular.
Alessandro Canella
@chetan_natesh People are already inclined towards paid services now. So let's see 😉

I believe we'll get more influencers and micro-influencers contributing to the world of social media
Alessandro Canella
@shushant_lakhyani Influencer marketing is already skyrocketing! It holds a great future. 🚀

Real people make life meaningful. I'd like to believe that our future is local :)
Alessandro Canella
@parker_revers I appreciate your thought 😊

In many ways, the future of social media is intrinsically linked with the future of the metaverse. One way of thinking about it is that the metaverse simply is the next evolution of social media
Alessandro Canella
@suzanne_sullivan Thanks for sharing your pov. Let's see what metaverse has in store for us. 😉

I think VR is set to be the future of social media, and there are many reasons why. First and foremost, it allows you to experience content in a way that is truly immersive. You aren't just watching videos or reading articles; you are living the experience firsthand. This creates a more personal connection with the people or brands you're following, which can lead to greater loyalty and sales outcomes.
Alessandro Canella
@rohit8x Apparently, but this is a long shot. There are substantial reasons why the average user is not able to welcome the metaverse.

With YouTube and Instagram holding its popularity, maybe more networking system that cores around visual aspects, like clips and video may come around more?
Alessandro Canella
@shawn_park_f12 Yes, visual content is just going to skyrocket!

Algorithim driven content is eating the world. There's a reason why all major social platforms are shoving shorts/reels/tiktok style videos down your throat.
Alessandro Canella
@philipsnyder How do you propose on solving this issue and why do you think all social platforms are doing this on purpose?
Emily Elizabeth
The emergence of TikTok and short-form video content are the two most anticipated innovations. While smaller networks like Pinterest and Snapchat may finally take off in 2022, larger networks like Instagram and Twitter will likely remain significant (especially for B2B enterprises). Also, social commerce is essential for eCommerce companies.
Alessandro Canella
@emily_elizabeth5 I agree with you here. I see the same happening.
