Most used social media for teens


I really like this article. I was super interested in all the info it gave on teenagers and what their most used platform was. It's no surprise to me that FaceBook was not one of the top choices for most used. The one thing I was surprised with was the placement of Instagram and Snapchat. After Snapchat updated, a lot of people weren't as active on it as they were before the update. Because of that, I expected Snapchat to not have a high number as it did in the 'most used' section of the survey. I guess they made a comeback.

Stories on social media (stories/posts)


I'm not gonna lie, I agree with the article that stories are starting to take over social media and replace regular posts. I don't post too often, but I do occasionally visit the apps themselves. When I scroll through, I don't see a whole lot of interesting posts. They're very repetitive when I look at people's profiles, but then I see their stories. The stories that I see tend to be more interesting and attractive than the person's actual post, it kind of annoys me. I really do feel like these new 'stories' can take attention away from actual posts, I think it should change.
