Prolepsis
Paper in Peer-Reviewed Academic Journal 'Res Rhetorica' Features Research by Scott M. Graffius on the Lifespan (Half-Life) of Social Media Posts
10 May 2024

‘Contemporary Prolepsis in Digital Rhetoric: The Roles and Functions of Proleptic Cues’ paper in peer-reviewed academic journal Res Rhetorica features Scott M. Graffius’ ‘Lifespan (Half-Life) of Social Media Posts’ research.
When content is published online, relevance and engagement have a limited lifespan. An advantageous objective metric is half-life. It’s the time it takes for a post to receive half of its total engagement (such as likes, shares, and comments). Data can help inform strategic and tactical decisions, such as the frequency and scheduling of posts.
However, reports by others on the shelf life of social media are often outdated or based on the experience of one person, one organization, or one limited set of data. With any of those common limitations, findings are at risk of being non-representative, inaccurate, or unreliable.
It’s important to have a large dataset from multiple sources. In addition to generating results that are more likely to be appropriately representative, accurate, and reliable, this approach provides a more complete picture and helps identify trends.
In 2018, Scott M. Graffius first published data on the average lifespan (half-life) of posts on Snapchat, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and blogs — based on data from multiple sources. Algorithms and other factors on platforms change over time. For that reason, Graffius periodically updates the analysis. The current (2024) edition of his ‘Lifespan (Half-Life) of Social Media Posts’ is here.
Scientists, researchers, journalists, academics, YouTubers, podcasters, SEO experts, analysts, businesses, government agencies, and others have featured and used Graffius’ research. Res Rhetorica was added to the list.
