That was true a few years ago, but definitely not anymore. Especially the teens are gone, but increasingly so is the 20-40 segment.

- lucb1e 8y agoRight, people hate it for a hundred other reasons. But I have a Facebook name that I can give to a stranger on the street and then negotiate which chat to use. That everyone has it and you see their rough location and such, is where it has some value even for a FOSS and self-host nut as I.
- akeck 8y agoI'm still an FB "monthly active user", in that I use it about once a month. As people have dropped off in my circles, one-per-month has become more than enough to catch up.
- asdff 8y agoI'm in the same boat. Hardly using the site really shows how poor it has become. I'll pop in once a month to 50+ 'notifications,' only to find 48 of them will be "Josh posted a photo" or "Jake liked a post" despite that setting to turn off friend activity notifications turned off. I don't even bother with scrolling through the feed. Why should I? It is in no particular sort, I frequently scroll over the same five posts, and somehow every third post is an advertisement now. It would take hours now to 'catch up' just from all the pollution you have to sift through to see actual original content posted by your friends directly. I used to be able to run through the news feed in like 5-10 minutes back when it was chronological and sponsored content was not passed around the site like a venereal disease. Why even bother now?
