I’m seeing people feeling upset or disappointed by the views vs clicks ratio on their tweets now that view counts are visible. Don’t! There are many reasons why someone might not Like a post even if they read & enjoy it. Our recent JCMC research paper asks this exact question!A🧵

In our paper, “Why we don’t click: Interrogating the Relationship Between Viewing and Clicking in Social Media Contexts by Exploring the “Non-Click,” we find three audience-related reasons why people don’t click on content they otherwise attend to or find meaningful. 2/

1. It may be that they don’t want you, the poster, to be aware they’ve seen it - maybe they don’t want to be held accountable for having to respond or don’t want to encourage certain behaviors 3/

2. Maybe they don’t want to become visible to other third-party audiences, like mutual friends or trolls. Or 3. perhaps they don’t want the platform/algorithm to “see” they’ve liked something, because they don’t necessarily want more of that content or related advertising. 4/

Summary: Just because they didn’t click doesn’t mean they aren’t paying attention to, talking about, or thinking about your post! Paper is here for those interested: academic.oup.com/jcmc/article/2…
