Thanks for your presentation. I'm wondering what's the implication of this study on online experiments?

Thanks for sharing this very interesting piece! I have many questions: Some of the active non-clicking that people described in the interview portion of your engagement with them was about withholding information from an estranged or distant other in order to not send unintended signals but nevertheless to engage equally or more with the content (e.g., they were afraid others would delete them as friends, or that an ex would fixate on its "meaning"); in other cases it was to avoid future content (e.g., to avoid newsfeed picking up that this was of interest; or to not affirm actions perceived as selfish). What was the distribution of these two, contradictory responses? Was their a micro-behavioral trace in the eye-tracking data that helped distinguish them? Was the meaning attached to non-clicking more various than the meaning associated with clicking (I'm guessing yes)? If so, the case of the "finger that didn't click" is actually more of a mystery than the finger that did.

Thanks for sharing this interesting paper! The research helps solve some parts of the "black box" in the production of social media data. I was wondering if the non-clicks would interfere with research based on "likes" or "comments" on online platforms.

Thanks for sharing! I notice that you combined multiple research design together--observational data, survey and interview. I wonder what factors will you take into account when you make your research design? Thank you!

Thank you very much for your presentation! How do you think your research can influence our interpretation about the "likes" or "comments" on online platforms? Thanks!

Thanks for your sharing! My question is whether we should take individual personality into consideration when determining the type of people?

I find it interesting that the time spent online alone did not predict clicks but non click time on facebook did correlate with number of clicks, meaning the correlation between screen time on an app and interaction won't necessarily predict overall technology use for an individual.
