作者:

Highlights:

• We detected new forms of self-disclosing behaviour online.

• We used qualitative methods to analyse videos on YouTube.

• These new forms of self-disclosure are not bound to conditions of visual anonymity.

• This finding puts previous research results in question.

• The paper concludes by presenting a revised model of online self-disclosure.
