Japan's recent survey reveals X as the most frustrating social media platform among users
In a recent survey by RJC Research in Japan, the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) has been identified as the most irritating platform for users, with 32.6% of respondents expressing anger or frustration[1]. This is a significant lead over Instagram, the second most irritating platform, which was chosen by about 13% of respondents[1][2][3].
The survey, an online poll via Line Research, gathered a total of 1,050 valid responses from men and women aged 20 to 69. The primary source of irritation across all platforms was found to be the spread of unreliable information such as false rumors, fake news, and gossip, cited by 50% of respondents[1]. Harassing or slanderous posts were also problematic.
Interestingly, the complaints about X were primarily from men and women in their twenties and thirties, while Instagram annoyance was more prevalent among women in their twenties to forties[1].
The survey data is from a Japanese source titled "Survey on Social Media Platforms" from RJC Research. Among types of annoying comments or reactions, aggressive comments were the most commonly cited issue, mentioned by 52.8% of those surveyed[1].
In summary, X is the most irritating social media platform in Japan according to the RJC Research survey. The main irritants include unreliable information and aggressive comments. Instagram ranks second but with considerably fewer complaints[1][2][3].
