Abstract

Social media is a ubiquitous presence in society, with 4.95 billion users worldwide. Social media platforms enable people to connect with family and friends, share information and ideas, and access news and entertainment. The platforms also play a vital role in business by providing companies with direct channels to reach and engage with their target audiences. Social media analytics provide valuable insights that can support efforts to level-up engagement and results. The relevance and engagement of posts 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). Corresponding data can help inform strategic and tactical decisions such as the frequency and scheduling of posts. In 2018, Scott M. Graffius first published data on the lifespan (half-life) of social media posts. Algorithms and other factors on platforms change over time. For that reason, Graffius periodically renews the analysis. Introducing the new report: ‘Lifespan (Half-Life) of Social Media Posts: Update for 2024.’ The visual at the top of the attached article summarizes the average lifespan (half-life) for posts on Snapchat, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and blogs.

Introduction
Individuals and businesses use the Internet and other forms of digital
communication to reach and engage target audiences and promote
content. That’s digital marketing. It includes email, social media, web-
based advertising, and text and multimedia messages.
A rapidly expanding component of digital marketing is social media
marketing. It involves posting content on social media platforms such as
Snapchat, X (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn,
YouTube, Pinterest, and blogs. The platforms enable people to connect
with family and friends, share information and ideas, and access news
and entertainment. The platforms also play a vital role in business by
providing companies with direct channels to reach and engage with their
target audiences. When well-executed, social media marketing delivers
multiple benefits, including:
Engagement with a global audience — there are 4,950,000,000 (4.95
billion) active social media users worldwide.
Improved brand and marketplace awareness and reach.
Enhanced customer engagement.
Increased website traffic.
Improved search engine rankings.
And more.
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.
In 2018, Scott M. Graffius first published data on the lifespan (half-life) of
social media posts. Algorithms and other factors on platforms change
over time. For that reason, Graffius periodically updates the analysis.
This article provides the update for 2024.
Reports by others on the shelf life of social media are often 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 broad set of data 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. Graffius’ “Lifespan (Half-Life)
of Social Media Posts: Update for 2024” — this research report — is built
on data from 37 sources.
Based on an analysis of data from 37 diverse sources, this report reveals
the average lifespan (half-life) for posts on Snapchat, X, Facebook,
Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and blogs.
Main Section of Article
As detailed next, the half-life of posts varies by social media platform.
Snapchat
Snapchat is a multimedia instant messaging app and service developed
by Snap Inc., originally Snapchat Inc. A distinguishing feature of the
platform is that pictures and messages are usually only available for a
short time before they become inaccessible to their recipients. Snapchat
has 750,000,000 (750 million) active users.
The average half-life duration for Snapchat posts is 0 minutes.
Exceptions apply. Snapchat messages may disappear instantly or live up
to 24 hours (even longer in certain cases) depending on the type of
message, user settings, and other details.
Algorithms and other factors on platforms can change over time,
potentially impacting the average half-life duration for posts. For

The average half-life duration for Pinterest posts is 164,518
minutes (= 3.76 months).
Algorithms and other factors on platforms can change over time,
potentially impacting the average half-life duration for posts. For
comparison, here’s data on Pinterest for 2024 along with the last two
annual editions of this report:
2024: 164,518 minutes (= 2,741.97 hours = 114.25 days = 16.32
weeks = 3.76 months).
2023: 164,270 minutes (= 2,737.83 hours = 114.08 days = 16.30
weeks = 3.76 months).
2022: 164,270 minutes (= 2,737.83 hours = 114.08 days = 16.30
weeks = 3.76 months).
Blogs
Blogs (a truncation of "weblogs") are discussion or informational websites
consisting of discrete, often diary-style entries. Up until 2009, blogs were
usually the work of individuals and each typically covered a single topic.
In the 2010s, multi-author blogs (MABs) from media outlets and others
emerged. In addition to featuring the writings of multiple authors, MABs
often span a range of topics. It is estimated that there are over
600,000,000 (600 million) blogs.
The average half-life duration for blog posts is 1,022,997 minutes
(= 1.95 years).
The functionality of blogs and other factors can change over time,
potentially impacting the average half-life duration for posts. For
comparison, here’s data on blogs for 2024 along with the prior annual
edition of this report (note: this research started reporting on blogs in
2023):
2024: 1,022,997 minutes (1.95 years).
2023: 1,051,200 minutes (2.00 years).
Conclusion
Social media platforms — such as Snapchat, X, Facebook, Instagram,
LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and blogs — enable people to connect with
family and friends, share information and ideas, and access news and
entertainment. The platforms also provide organizations with direct
channels to reach and engage with their target audiences.
The relevance and engagement of posts on social media platforms 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). In 2018, Scott M. Graffius first published
data on the lifespan (half-life) of social media posts. Algorithms and other
factors on platforms change over time. For that reason, Graffius
periodically updates the analysis. This report, which is based on half-life
data from 37 sources, provides an update for 2024.
Social media analytics provide valuable insights that can support efforts
to level-up engagement and results. Data
on the average lifespan (half-life) of posts, for example, can help inform
strategic and tactical decisions such as the frequency and scheduling of
posts.

Social media platforms are used widely by all people to express their feelings, opinions, and emotional states. Billions of people worldwide use them daily to share what they think and feel in their posts. Amongst all social media available platforms, Facebook only contains around three billion personal accounts. In this work Reddit dataset is used to automatically detect mental illness from social media posts. This study is not only limited to early detection of already existing mental illness or disorder like depression and anxiety from social posts, but also and most importantly the study is extended to predict successfully potential mental illness that would happen in future. This study deploys Nineteen different models to study the capability of them in detecting and predicting mental disorders from social media posts. Some of the deployed models are classical machine learning classifiers, some are ensemble learning models, and the rest are large language models (LLMs). Six machine learning classifiers were used in this work for the automatic detection and prediction of mental illness and logistic regression proved to be the best amongst other classifiers in this task. Nine Ensemble methods were also used and examined. Amongst the Nine ensemble learning models VC2, Light GBM, Bagging estimator, and XGBoost proved to be superior in this task. Four large language models were also used and examined for the same task. RoBERTa and OpenAI GPT proved to outperform the rest of models in this task. All those models were built, trained, tested, and compared with previous work in literature to get the best possible results. The study covers the main four mental disorders which are ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar, and Depression. The work proposed in this paper succeeded in outperforming the results in literature in terms of number of addressed mental disorders, number of models used and tested, and dataset size used to validate results. The proposed work also outperformed the only attempt in literature that addressed all mental disorders in results of detection and prediction noticeably. This work achieved the detection of already existing mental disorders F1-score of 0.80 from clinical data and of 0.52 from non-clinical data, and it achieved a prediction of future mental disorder F1-score of 0.43 from non-clinical data.

Scott M. Graffius analyzes data on the lifespan (half-life) of social media posts to help inform related decisions such as the frequency and scheduling of posts. He started conducting that work — and sharing the findings — in 2018. As algorithms and other factors on platforms change over time, Graffius periodically renews the assessment. This is about the update for 2023. Based on an analysis of data from 32 diverse sources, this article presents findings on the updated average lifespan (half-life) for posts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat, and blogs.
