      Otros elementos que me parece que se contagian como ritualísticos incluyen determinados códigos a la hora de hacer un directo en Instagram, por ejemplo. A menudo la conexión comienza saludando a la gente que entra y se añade un «vamos a esperar, para empezar, a que se conecte todo el mundo». O bien, si es un directo compartido, comentando en directo el proceso de invitar a la otra persona.
