danah boyd recently argued that social media (as we knew it) is mostly dead; what we have now is parasocial media: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
I agree. Networked social media is disappearing, replaced by a new logic/structure of content creator, creator-centered community, & algorithm.
We show that the most demanding passages in sociological articles have become more complex over time. Textual complexity also differs systematically across methodological traditions.
Yet, we find no evidence that complex writing either increases or decreases citation impact.
