Explore the intricate relationship between quantification and storytelling on social media with "Quantified Storytelling: A Narrative Analysis of Metrics on Social Media." This insightful book delves into how visible metrics like likes and shares, alongside invisible algorithmic measurements, shape the narratives we create and consume online. It examines the under-explored connections between quantification and storytelling in both academic research and social media studies, highlighting the increasing integration of sophisticated metrics by platforms. Through case studies from Instagram, Reddit, and Snapchat, the authors analyze the impact of content, interface, and algorithmic metrics on how personal experiences are shared, how specific stories gain traction, and how platforms design storytelling features.
