外刊精选|“潜水”不发帖,只看不发言:为什么大家不爱发朋友圈了?
近年来,不少人都有这种感受:微信好友越来越多,但发朋友圈的次数却越来越少,社交媒体一刷就几个小时,但表达欲却骤然下降,每次发布动态之前要前思后想,最终还是选择算了……在人际交往中,人们似乎变得愈加谨慎。那么,为什么人们更新社交媒体的频率越来越低?在真实的生活与虚拟的空间之中,我们应该如何把握当下?
We Aren't Posting on Social Media as Much Anymore. Will We Ever?
By Cordilia James
Lots of people log in to social media every day. Fewer and fewer are actually posting. This lurker mentality is widespread.
In a survey conducted in the U.S. this summer, research firm Gartner found more than half of respondents believed the quality of social media has declined in the past five years. They cited misinformation, toxicity and the proliferation of bots as reasons it has gotten worse.
Users are also choosier about what they post online. Recent events, such as the Israel-Hamas war, have made users hesitate before sharing their views publicly for fear of retribution and judgment, says Pamela Rutledge, director of the independent Media Psychology Research Center.
Even in less divisive areas, users say they have grown exhausted. Gartner estimates that 50% of users will either abandon or significantly limit their interactions with social media in the next two years.
Shantae Mann, 36, doesn't really feel a need to post regularly. She only posts for certain events, like her children's birthdays, or a big trip. "It is nice to have pictures so you can remember the moments," she says, "but for me it's just like, being more in the moment."
