Resum	Longitudinal netnography applies the systematic, immersive online ethnographic method developed by Kozinets across multiple time points to reveal how digital communities, cultural practices, and shared meanings evolve. Rather than offering a snapshot of online life, it tracks the same community or platform over weeks, months, or years, capturing change, continuity, and the temporal rhythms of internet culture.	Longitudinal ethnography is a qualitative research design in which a researcher conducts sustained, repeated fieldwork with the same community, organisation, or group across an extended period — months to decades. By returning to the field at multiple time points, the researcher captures how social processes, meanings, and structures evolve, making it the only qualitative method capable of directly observing change and continuity in lived experience.
