Facebook is for old people


This is getting voted down but this is exactly what one of my kids told me the other day. With the younger generations not getting on to Facebook coupled with more and more “old people” realizing how bad Facebook is and leaving it, one has to wonder how valuable their data set is/is going to be in the coming years.


I agree, my younger siblings are longer on facebook, nor am I,4 yet all my aunts and uncles are, and they are very active. For all my friends we have other means of communication like Snapchat, IG, Slack, IRC, Discord, email, SMS, etc


This is quite true, and Facebook knows it. I thought it was the reason they bought Instagram.
