hey, I'm writing an essay and I want your opinions on something. why do you think people a...

for a variety of opinions not affected by the same social factors (づ￣ ³￣)づ

To get the answers they want to hear, because people usually ask on formats that’ll confirm their bias.

hmm there's a wider range of audience or people, which means there'll be opinions from persons of all races, religion, sexuality or whatever. also sometimes its because u cant ask those questions from the ppl you know, since its embaressing or u just want the whole thing to remain a secret.

for answers duh. In all seriousness using social media, you can get a wider variety of answers from a larger group of people, not only that but like you can ask whatever question you want without people really knowing who you really are so its more comfy

To get the answer they need, but sometimes to get attention they want.
When they see there’s very little comments on their question, they get negative, like asking themselves why no one help them with the question, why no one cares, etc.

Bcz... Sometimes we say what in our hearts to stranger rather than our loved ones... We care what they might think but when it comes to a stranger... We just don't care... By saying care doesn't mean that they don't feel anything but it dissapears as long as they get their ans that they were looking for..
And also it has to do with variety of answers too... Like in social media we get ans from around the world and can see different aspects of the same matter.... And can also find people with whom they might can relate to....
Tho it may have negative impact to sometimes when the given ans may take u the wrong or may be a wrong advice cuz not like we always meet varity of people's....
But they do help sometimes...

Thank you for the answers. Some of your words are in my essay as quotes so you helped a lot.

more opinions and voices, therefore leading to a better insight of the answer
