It turns out that 40% of Twitter users in their teens and twenties have an “Ota-katsu” account. It can be seen that the number of About 70% of people who have an Instagram account have a “private” account [Image 6

The average possession rate of other age groups is 2%, and it seems that there are many people who use Instagram with a feeling similar to Twitter, such as “tweeting”, to organize their stress and mind than other age groups. It was thought that there was no.

Next, we conducted a survey to find out why people have multiple accounts on SNS.
Looking at the survey results of the questionnaire, the most common answer was “because I want to collect information about my hobbies”, followed by “because I didn’t want my friends to know about my hobbies”.
People who have multiple accounts often have accounts related to their hobbies separately from others, and it seems that they are devising ways to collect information.
The biggest disadvantage for those who have multiple accounts is that it has become troublesome to use different accounts.

Finally, we investigated the disadvantages of having multiple accounts. According to the results of the survey, the most common reason was that “it became troublesome to use different accounts”, accounting for 51%.
When using different accounts, more than half of the accounts are created with a specific purpose in mind, such as “using geeks” or “for complaints”, but some of them say, “I don’t want my friends to know” or “Because it’s rude to people around me.” There was also an opinion that the account is used differently because of the eyes of people.
If you create multiple accounts out of concern for others, you may find it difficult to determine where to divide your accounts later, which can be a hassle.
