Have you realized below points when you don’t find people interested in your social media posts and activities? Its not always lack of interest or dislike that causes someone to be un-interested in your posts.
- Is your post showing up on their activity feed or wall?
- Are your interests and likes similar?
- Does the other person have time for social media?
- Is the other person active on social media? Is s/he searching for things completely different from you?
- All social media runs on algorithms, optimizations and matching – is the algorithm correctly able to decipher where your & other person’s interests are?
- Many people have profiles which are not exactly what they really are – either for interest of their privacy or other reasons causing more mis-match to happen
- We get to see more and more of what we tend to like and follow, post and so on which may not be exactly in agreement with your network
- Mathematically the permutations & combinations for even a network of 1,000 people connected to one person with 10s of likes and posts / activities per person builds such a vast set of events which is not humanely possible to track for one person
- Probability of we seeing something that other person in our network wants us to see is very low
- Before we judge why people have not been in touch with us, do realize some of the points above. Larger your social network in terms of physical world & virtual world – lower the chances of you observing activities, posts, likes and more from individuals in your network that they want you to see unless the matching algorithms are intuitive
- These are some of the reasons why we keep seeing warnings about why we should not be judgemental about things on social media
