Social Pressures Linked To ‘Friends and Followers’
About The Guide
Social Pressures Linked To ‘Friends and Followers’
Published 4th September 2019
The whole concept of social media relies upon users having friends and/or followers. ‘Friends’ tend to be those with whom users will share their own personal profi le. It’s usually a mutual relationship with both parties able to engage and interact with everything their friends post online. ‘Followers’ on the other hand can typically be just one-way relationships and, dependent on the platform, only provide access to certain aspects of an individual’s pro file, such as a person’s content feed. A common trait that often exists between the two however is the desire to gather as many friends or followers as possible.
