Steps to reproduce
The raw data and materials from this study are being preserved by the authors and can be requested via email with justification. This procedure adheres to Kozinets' (2020) proposal regarding the ethical implications of data sharing in netnographic research, ensuring that participants' identities are preserved and anonymized. Although some of the data used in the study is available online (observations on social networks and ethnomethodology), the study authors do not hold copyright to share them in a public directory such as Mendeley Data. These materials are publicly accessible but making them available here would allow tracking of the participants' social networks, making the ethical procedures adopted by the study unfeasible. Furthermore, video and audio recordings (ethnographic interviews) are always considered personal data and can be linked to specific individuals. We reiterate that anonymized transcripts of the interviews (or relevant parts) can be shared upon specific request via email to the first author.
