Understanding the Reasons for Decline in Social Media Engagement

Social media platforms are constantly changing their algorithms to keep focusing on the contents that will keep users on their platform longer. In 2025, these changes will make it more hard for companies to gain the same level of engagement without taking help of sponsored marketing. Current algorithms are prioritising short videos, modified content, and community related interactions, posting traditional static have less chances to acquire attention.

So to adjust that, she decided to switch to reels , which were prioritised by new algorithms. Later she realised that her reels , which were connected with trends and were as per the preference of customer, resulted in a huge boost in reach and engagement as well.

Everyday millions of posts are posted on various social media platforms, because of which users are becoming more choosy about what they want to interact with. This also causes ‘ user fatigue ‘ which means that they scroll past posting without even engaging as the information of the post appears unintresting and repetitive.

Understand with the help of an example now, suppose there is a blogger who blogs about cooking, experiencing decrease in likes and comments on its posts as now its posts became repetitive for users and they don’t even feel interested. To overcome this problem , the blogger decided to launch a new series and named it as”unpredictable recipes”, and this series results in generating popularity as it gives originality and excitement to users while watching.
