Japanese Study Identifies X as the Most Annoying Social Media Network
In a recent survey conducted by RJC Research, social media platform X was identified as the most irritating platform among Japanese users. The survey, titled "Survey on Social Media Platforms" (Japanese), received 1,050 valid responses from men and women aged 20 to 69.

The most common problem with comments or reactions on X, according to 52.8% of the respondents, was aggressive comments. This was followed closely by the spread of unreliable information such as false rumors, fake news, and gossip, which was cited by 50% of respondents as the biggest annoyance. Harassing or slanderous posts were also identified as a major problem.
Interestingly, respondents who picked X were mostly men and women in their twenties and thirties. It's worth noting that Instagram was the second most chosen platform, with 19.1 percentage points less than X.
The findings suggest that a significant number of users are frustrated with the content and interactions on X, particularly in regards to the spread of misinformation and aggressive comments. This could indicate a need for the platform to address these issues and improve the user experience.
