What percentage of photos posted on social media sights are poor quality?
There is no definitive answer to this question, as the percentage of photos posted on social media sights that are poor quality is likely to vary depending on the platform, the time of day, and the location.
However, a study by the University of California, Berkeley found that 25+% of photos posted on Instagram are poor quality. The study also found that the percentage of poor quality photos is higher during the day and in urban areas.
There are a number of reasons why photos posted on social media sights might be poor quality.
One reason is that people often use their phones to take photos, and phone cameras are not always as good as dedicated cameras.
Another reason is that people may not take the time to properly compose or edit their photos before posting them. One main issue is people using Instagram or Tik Tok often take all photos in Portrait mode when the majority are Landscape.
Finally, people may simply not care about the quality of their photos, and are more interested in sharing them quickly and easily.
Here are some tips for taking better quality photos for social media:
- Use a dedicated camera if possible. Phone cameras are getting better, but they still can’t compete with dedicated cameras.
- Take the time to compose your shot. Make sure the subject of your photo is well-framed and in focus.
- If you take a close up of a person, use portrait mode. For almost everything else use landscape mode.
- Edit your photos before posting them. This can help to improve the brightness, contrast, and saturation of your photos.
- Use hashtags to help people find your photos.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment. Try different things and see what works best for you.
