Commercial viability is not relevant here, but is this 'pattern' similar to the #fediverse.
@RoedigerRG yes, I think “scalloped growth” is a common pattern for things like social media sites
@UlrikeHahn They might want to apply "AI" to emulate the effect of user engagement. That would, at the same time, improve the business appeal, and glue users to their screens.
would also love to know where that activity is fading to: other social media or just drifting away from online social media altogether?
@UlrikeHahn Normal psycho-physical reactions?
@tg9541 how do you mean, Thomas?
@UlrikeHahn Well, the universal laws that govern aspects of acuteness, appeal or attention. There are techniques for measuring and modelling these, e.g., Von Grünau, M. W., et al. "Flicker and the efficiency of cues for capturing attention." Vision research 39.19 (1999): 3241-3252.
@tg9541 those are all about stationary cues/signals, no? So I can’t see how they would apply here even in principle: engagement with a social media site via posting changes the very thing we are engaging with….
