People download these apps but what do they or others post that attract them to the apps? I interviewed a few people to see what they post. One of the responses I got was, “I mostly post art and other random things like that,” said Kayla. “I post photos I like of me/others”, says an anonymous student. When I asked what apps they posted on, Kayla said, “TikTok and Instagram”, along with “Instagram and Snapchat” from the anonymous student. One of the last questions I asked was, what do you enjoy watching/seeing on social media? “I like art and gaming”, says Kayla. The apps that Kayla sees these kinds of posts on are, Youtube, Twitch, TikTok, and Instagram. Though these are just some of the things you can see on social media. Other types of things on social media for the public eye are,
dancing videos, memes, and lipsyncing. There are a lot of different types of videos on the internet, your job is to figure out what you enjoy watching.
Overall, the more popular apps said in this article have to be TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. Though the most mentioned were TikTok and Instagram.
