Impact of Social Media on Mental Health

Social media addiction can lead to an increase in aggravating mental problems. This is because social media can lead you to become withdrawn from other people since as humans we need companionship. HexC3D (talk) 01:27, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi Protected Edit Request

A 2017 study of almost 6,000 adolescent students showed that those who self-reported addiction-like symptoms of social media use were more likely to report low self-esteem and high levels of depressive symptoms. From the findings on a population-based study, there is about 37% increase in the likelihood of major depression among adolescents. In a different study conducted in 2007, those who used the most multiple social media platforms (7 to 11) had more than three times the risk of depression and anxiety than people who used the fewest (0 to 2).Not only has it increased depression and anxiety, but it also has increased the suicide rate of today’s youth and young adults, leading it to be the second leading cause of death among the ages 10-34.(source: https://www.newswise.com/articles/10-year-study-shows-elevated-suicide-risk-from-excess-social-media-time-for-teen-girls)

Looking at friends' stories or posts of them attending parties, music festivals, vacations and other events on various social media applications can lead users to feel left out and upset because they are not having as much fun as others. This is a very common issue between young people using certain apps and it continues to affect their personal well-being. Social media creates loneliness but finding someone to talk to can help ease the fear of missing out, which is why companionship is important and can decrease those feelings.

Change: From the findings on a population-based study, there is about 37% increase in the likelihood of major depression among adolescents. In a different study conducted in 2007, those who used the most multiple social media platforms (7 to 11) had more than three times the risk of depression and anxiety than people who used the fewest (0 to 2). --- To: A 2007 study found that those who used the most multiple social media platforms (7 to 11) had more than three times the risk of depression and anxiety than people who used the fewest (0 to 2). --- Reason: 37% percent statistic is irrelevant and not related to social media use, the study cited in the citation examined the "prevalence of major depressive episodes (MDEs) in adolescents" broadly and not related specifically to social media use.

After the subtitle "Development of social-media platforms", add a new subtitle "Rise of Short-Form Video Platforms"

The content: The rapid rise of short video platforms in the ever-evolving social media space. The phenomenon represented by TikTok has undergone a significant paradigm shift. This transformative trend has redefined the way individuals engage with digital content, generating new forms of creativity, interaction and cultural expression.

In 2016, TikTok, by Chinese tech company ByteDance, allowed users to create and share short, engaging music videos, often incorporating choreography, humor, and a variety of creative elements, in the platform's unique format. Its algorithmic content discovery mechanism, which customizes content feeds based on individual user preferences, has helped with great appeal, promoting trends and challenges that go viral.

The brevity and visual impact of short videos cater to the short attention span of modern users, providing quick gratification and entertainment in small doses. In addition, these platforms democratize content creation, providing a level playing field for aspiring creators to showcase their talents and gain recognition without the need for elaborate production values.

Add some new contents under the subtitle "Platform convergence"

The content: On August 5, 2020, Instagram launched the "Reels" feature, which enables users to create and share 15-second videos and seamlessly integrate them into the existing Instagram ecosystem. On July 13, 2021, YouTube launched "Shorts," aimed at making lively videos with music, enhancing the video-sharing giant's appeal to younger groups. Whaoeee (talk) 05:30, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

I request you to edit and consider snapchat as a proper social media instead considering it as “considered as social media by interpreting the meaning of social media” 223.184.25.188 (talk) 13:30, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Outdated data on 'Most popular social networks'

I can update the most popular social networks list with latest data from Statista and remove the previous one, which is outdated. Is this fine? https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-networks-ranked-by-number-of-users/

Edits by Wetlikewater

Grayfell blanket reverted numerous edits for a basic reason that only applied to a subset of the edits. He didn't do any due diligence in starting a discussion about it nor attempting to rectify the problems himself. Its very easy to destroy people's work, much harder to do it in the first place. Please respect the time other people put into their edits, @Grayfell. Let's fix the edits instead of just blanket reverting them. I'll help. Fresheneesz (talk) 18:43, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

The concern was WP:FORBESCON, which justifies the removal. If you'd like to restore anything that is clearly verified by reliable and independent sources, that would be a good start. --Hipal (talk) 18:50, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
