Hi! 👋 We are researchers at the University of Washington exploring end user tools for feed curation on social media. We are conducting a study to learn more about the factors social media users take into consideration when evaluating the saliency of content in their personal feeds. This study will take approximately 45–60 minutes and will involve an interactive activity using 10 pieces of content from your personal feed on a social media platform of your choice. You will receive a $20 gift card upon completion of the study. Your participation in this study, including your submission of 10 posts from your personal feed, is completely voluntary, and you may leave the study at any time. We will not store your posts as study data—they are only meant to generate discussion during the study. If you have any questions, please reach out to researcher Kevin Feng at [email protected]. Thank you for your interest!
