In Internet culture, a lurker is typically a member of an online community who observes, but does not actively participate.[1][2] The exact definition depends on context. Lurkers make up a large proportion of all users in online communities.[3] Lurking allows users to learn the conventions of an online community before they actively participate, improving their socialization when they eventually de-lurk.[4] However, a lack of social contact while lurking sometimes causes loneliness or apathy among lurkers.

Lurkers experience less belonging in a community compared to regular contributors.[9] They are less satisfied and experience more distractions.[9][15] This means that lurkers are predisposed to leave before making a contribution because they lack the motivation that belonging and satisfaction bring. In the case of social networking websites, lurkers experience less intimacy and personal well-being. Lurkers in Facebook can experience loneliness as they watch other, more social members of the community participate.[5]

When lurkers decide to participate more actively in the community, they "de-lurk," which Rafaeli, Ravid, and Soroka define as: "...transfer from passive participation (only visiting the forum to read) to active participation (actively posting opinions and thoughts on the forum)".[4]

Because of the nature of the lurker, they can be hard to study.

It has come to my attention that lurking is considered a negative.  Wow who would have figured that one out.  Well I will refrain from this practice from now on.   Because of the nature of the lurker, they can be hard to study.    I wouldn't want to be hard to study any longer.  So I have decided to open an account very shortly.  I look forward to being  studied properly.
