What will be the future of social media?

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.

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.

I believe we'll get more influencers and micro-influencers contributing to the world of social media

Real people make life meaningful. I'd like to believe that our future is local :)

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

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.

With YouTube and Instagram holding its popularity, maybe more networking system that cores around visual aspects, like clips and video may come around more?

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.

Very hard to give you a clear answer as plans are changing. For example, TikTok doesn't classify itself as a social media, but as an entertainment platform. I would say that giant tech companies try to bring the internet to the countries of the 3rd world. The countries of the developed world will be using virtual reality for gaming and "entertainment". For the young generation, collective gaming represents some kind of socialising at a distance. It is questionable if the concept of "social" media will last in the future. I would say it could change to the concept of "entertainment media". But it is only my point of view that can change also. :-)

I think future social apps will enable human thriving. It will help foster meaningful connection with others and would not dictate the rhythm of our lives. With people increasingly being aware of the harms of present social apps, humane solutions could potentially be a way forward. Of course, for that to happen business models based on maximizing user's time spent on the app would have to go away.

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.

The explosion of visuals Video will probably get more attention than words than ever. And with VR starting to act as a powerful platform, video will dominate even more.

Social media will only continue to grow, almost exponentially, and will not stay stagnant for long. It's only a matter of where the technology that we're using today would be perfected in the future.

As we’ve seen in the recent past, social media has been a useful tool for the media. It allows us to be informed, stay connected and get a feel for what’s going on in the world. However, it’s also seen as a potential threat to the traditional media. And there are concerns that social media is putting pressure on the news industry. Social media is changing the way people consume news. And it's changing the way news is produced. And only one question really remains - what will Elon Musk do with Twitter?

Farcaster :)

I think the basic logic will not change for years because that depends on human nature. As to the product, the monopoly will continue for a long while until the next revolution of the device come. New interactions and new Scenes are the future of social media. But we got a long way to go, just look at the situation of Meta..... By the way, Elon has mentioned a lot of times for WeChat, he wants to make twitter another WeChat, but I think it's too late. Because WeChat achieves monopoly positions in many other industries in China, it combines lots of resources.

There will be more personal ownership of data. Individuals will be able to manage data across platforms in a more centralized way.

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.
