Young people don't use Facebook anymore. Instagram and Snapchat are where they're at.

  > Instagram and Snapchat are where they're at. This is true, but... > Young people don't use Facebook anymore. That's an oft repeated trope, but you sure about that? https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/04/10/share-of-u-s-adults-using-social-media-including-facebook-is-mostly-unchanged-since-2018/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/04/10/share-of-u-... The level of engagement of Gen-Z is much lower than previous generations on Facebook, but most college students still use it. The majority of non-Gen-Z Americans are still on Facebook.

    Anecdotally, I feel like the way people use Facebook has changed. Most of the people I know who do still use it aren't really using their wall, they're either using messenger, groups, or maybe the marketplace. It also seems like a lot of people my age (early 30s) who say they don't use Facebook, really mean they don't use the wall feature anymore. If my anecdotal evidence does hold true for the larger population, I think that helps to explain why it feels like everyone is saying they don't use Facebook, but Facebook continues to post solid user numbers.
