According to a survey conducted in 2002 in the UK, a person who is between 35 and 44 years old taking over the action of "shooting and returning" is more male than women. Teenagers were omitted from the survey, and many people were users of Instagram.

Barclaycard sees Barclaycard accelerating this trend by introducing a system called "try on before purchase" at the online shop.

Such behavior is greatly related to the situation that SNS "not only celebrities but general people also transmit online about their lives online". Many people think that it is unacceptable to post pictures of the same clothes separately as they are sending their own lives, and the tag "# ootd (Outfit of The Day / today's dress) is popular In some cases, it seems that people taking actions such as "shoot and return immediately" to avoid 'same clothes' are continuing.
