Is there too many social media sites?

[Grant]

There seems to be a ton of social media sites out there, do you think we have too many these days? We just got a new one with Instagram Threads, a competitor to twitter. I just feel like it's a bit clogged up with social media sites, some that are similar to others and some that are different. But it can be tiring to use so many different social sites.

I think there are too many sites but only a handful of them are actually popular. Some social sites are popular only in selected regions, for instance, VK is popular only in Russia and Russian speaking countries, WeChat is popular only in China and a few neighboring countries. I bey you are not using these platforms even though they have billions of users.

I don't do social media but I am aware of the multitude of choices. I always appreciate having choices so people don't have to rely on just one area. However, the more choices, the less chance something would be big. i.e. Facebook is, I believe, the most popular one so if you're looking for a good group to join, that would be a place.

For my taste there are too many, although I don't mind either because I use them very little, I only use Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp a little, not counting Telegram, I don't spend even half an hour a day on them, compared to a few years ago when I spent hours there .

Yes of course, I believe that we have way too many social media platforms now unlike what we used to have decades ago. I can remember when it was just MySpace and Yahoo Messenger that was very popular back in the days. I literally say hours in the cyber cafe just to use Yahoo messenger to chat with random people 😂.

Oh there was a lot back then even. I know there was a social site before MySpace came about. I forget what it was called, but it inspired some others to create social sites like it. I think Friendster is one that comes to mind that came before most social sites. Oh and Hi5 was another site to come out before Myspace.

For my business purposes, I tend to use the social media platform which I linked my business to often because I have to promote those businesses in order for me to get sales. But as for the ones that I don't have much business to do with, I just check them out once in a while. I have only been on Threads since it came out three times and I've never logged in again.

There are so many of them, I don't know them all. Everyone is trying to have their own social media platform because they've seen the success of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok etc. This is why we're seeing a lot of new social media sites. I use only the one's relevant to what I'm into.

There are actually too many social media platforms around. But I only familiarize myself with the popular ones such as Facebook, telegram, Twitter and Instagram. The other ones I do not think I have signed up with them..

You haven't started making use of TikTok? TikTok is the highest most used social media used now. If you haven't started using it, there are so many things which you're missing out and depriving yourself of.

I have never been too serious with using my YouTube channel for business purposes, although most of business customers are not on YouTube or they might be but I'm not so sure. I had to give more attention to TikTok. I'm growing my YouTube channel with contents and subscribers and it's been going well.

Today there are many social networks, but only a few have managed to be successful enough to be taken seriously into account, I for example do not use more than 3 a day, and I do not even think now about joining any more, I am not a fan of social networks, since they always start very well, But they end up degenerating.

This is exactly the case that we have with the Instagram linked Threads that Mark Zuckerberg recently launched as a competition to Twitter which is something that I don't see to have the potential of becoming a successful as Twitter have been over the years. These billionaires have money to throw on tech.

Yes, I do not see much potential to such an update, it also seems that few people are registering in Threads, on the other hand I have not even been able to register since when I try to access, it tells me that my region can not use the function yet, it is strange.

 

[Shortie]

I will admit that there are a lot of social media platforms available but only around 3 - 4 I would say are viable and are used consistently daily.

I have accounts on Instagram, Threads, Twitter and Facebook and will admit that I tend to use Twitter a lot more than any of the others.

It's great to have a choice when it comes to social media but I feel a lot of them get pushed out due to how popular Instagram, Twitter and Facebook are.

Google once tried to create a social media site with Google+ but they shut down in 2019 after 8 years due to lack of use.

So many users just rushed to it and registered at the heat of the moment and also at the time Twitter was having some technical issues. It was as if Mark Zuckerberg saw a perfect time to run and launch Threads. This gave him the lead in on so many people who jumped on it.
