As i understand, there's some evidence that visual social networks are preferred by females, e.g. pinterest. I recall a hypothesis that it has to do with women (or rather, neurotypes bell-curving around female gender identification) tending to use social media to discuss interpersonal and emotion-based content rather than facts and knowledge-sharing. There is more value placed on relationships with others when using social networks, which perhaps is bolstered by visual elements. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0268401219300696 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S026840121... I do wonder whether text-based social networks (e.g., some subreddits, slashdot, HN, mailing lists) are biased toward making a certain sort of mind and neurotype more comfortable. And without those neurotypes, what ways of seeing might that community also now be lacking... disclosure: i usually identify more with feminine ways of relating to knowledge and people, than masculine ones.
