On the JJ Barnes Blog, I take a look at research by CasinoTop10.net to find out which was the most popular social media network in 2022, and whether it’s one of my favourites!

I love social media. I’m incredibly antisocial in so many ways, I’m always working, and I use social media to promote the work I’m always doing. So, I decided to take a look at which was the most popular social media network used in the UK last year, so I can work out where I should be focusing on most this year!

Social Media

In recent years, social media has gained significant importance; It has become one of the most important ways to keep in touch with loved ones and people all over the world because of the global pandemic and social isolation.

Aside from that, social networks’ numerous advertising and promotion options have made them an essential part of many businesses’ and content creators’ marketing plans.

CasinoTop10.net commissioned a study that gathered information about social media users in the UK to determine which platform is most popular with Brits.
