Lurking

Lurking, in the context of general knowledge or online communities, refers to the practice of observing discussions or content without actively participating. Individuals who lurk may read posts, watch videos, or follow conversations but do not contribute comments or engage with others. This behavior can be driven by various reasons, such as learning, gathering information, or simply enjoying the content. While lurking can help individuals understand a subject better, it also means they may miss out on the opportunity to share their insights or connect with others in the community.
