> People do project their general behaviour patterns on social media regardless of the form

I need sources (not examples!) that demonstrate that people project their general behavioral patterns on social media.

I also need sources (not examples!) that demonstrate that this projection remains the same regardless of the form (video, text, etc).

Your line of reasoning implies that Twitter was one of the means for people to do that, and the reach lost by the dissolution of Twitter communities exemplifies this projection mechanism. It's a fair assumption, but not enough to prove that *general* behavior was present in such interations, nor that it works *regardless of form*. So, there's a lot to prove.

If I were to guess, I would say the case is much more specific, and the generalization does not hold water.

Good luck.

You are interested in debating against the narrowest possible literal interpretation of a sentence while selectively removing surrounding context as it suits your argument. That's not the kind of conversation I'm interested in, sorry.

  • You claimed I wasn't accurate. Up until that point, I was willing to have a more relaxed conversation.

    I decided to narrow the discussion to focus on being accurate, as you demanded. It surprises me that now you're not interested in it.
