>Kids these days
Facebook has and always has been targeted at adults. It was for people post high school. It's for connecting to people not in your immediate geographic vicinity. Facebook was only ever "cool" for kids because the barriers to entry dropped and they could suddenly see what they were barred from. It was always a utilitarian tool that is what you make of it. Follow cool people and groups, its cool. Follow people who share debunked myths, it sucks.
It doesn't really matter where kids are as long as they sign up for facebook when they graduate highschool. The people using snapchat as their primary address book to stay connected to each other, are the people facebook will have a hard time winning over. to them, facebook will always be social network #2.

- pacnw 11y agoI think that time is coming sooner than later. I just opened up FB today, first time in about a week and a half. It seems their algorithms or the feed has changed somewhat, because it mostly shows full posts of what friends-of-friends have posted, via 1st degree friend-likes etc. Felt completely irrelevant, unlike about 6 months to a year ago, when is was more direct what 1st gen relationships are doing.
