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?

I think that in the near future we will see the transformation of social networks into meta-universes, most likely using augmented reality technology.

@fail_men Alright. Let's see what future holds 😉

It will keep growing and growing i think

I believe the future of social media is "future messaging". (the opposite of instant messaging). Where users create and share messages with recipients at a later date. The premise here is that the messages becomes more meaningful to the recipient over time. One example would be Kapsule - an app that allows users to record and share video messages with anyone months, years, or even decades in the future.

@kevin_o_connell5 Wow.. that sounds very interesting.. I would create a message for myself first :)

Elon Musk has just energised people to follow social media. He has made twitter more interesting with all his stunts and the negativity people are seeing will eventually fade away.
Alessandro Canella
@rahul_deora1 I see that you are pretty confident and that's nice. Can you please share any idea of how he will manage to curb this heat?
Rahul Deora
@alessandro_canella What heat? Heat is caused by people who are not in charge of running and executing things. The 'heat' is just a social media fluff and will die out. These companies are overstaffed 2-3x and this spoils productivity of even the good engineers.
Alessandro Canella
@rahul_deora1 Do you know the reason behind them being "overstaffed"? It is a cycle of hiring and firing people and the same might happen with Elon's reign. Also, saying that the "heat" will die out on its own is pretty convenient.

The main thing is that it should not be like an episode of Black Mirror ;)
Alessandro Canella
@katrina_bain Hahaha right! 😉

The future of Social Media will be bright.

I hope that in the future any creator owns its content. Today you can easily be locked out by YouTube or Twitter and all your content and revenues are gone. Lens Protocol is doing a good job in this field. https://www.lens.xyz/

@hayerhans I agree. How do you guys keep up with the excessive amount of data creation?

Metaverse will make social media more immersive thereby offering novel experiences for customers. Brands including Gucci, Nike McDonald's have already begun creating virtual versions of their products that can be sold as NFTs within digital worlds. These can be used to decorate avatars and virtual spaces.
Alessandro Canella
@dsarkar I still believe that's a long shot. The average social media user ( the core of SM) is still not buying the idea of metaverse. What are your thoughts about that?
Daria Flack
Social media will have even a greater impact in the future. I guess some new monetization techniques will appear as well...

I believe social media will grow from strength to strength. Mainstream media will prioritise social media over traditional methods such as newspapers and tv. You can see the rise of non traditional media outlets such as LadBible having a great worldwide reach and that's because screen time is transitioning to online viewers as opposed to television. The content online is of much higher quality than the early days of the internet and this will attract even more viewers. Social media wins by a land slide with the younger generations aswell and I see it getting more popular year by year.
Alessandro Canella
@customuniforms No doubt about the increasing popularity. But, how will SM sustain this in the long run? There will come an eventual downfall. Let's see how we recover SM from it?
