"Around eight-in-ten (79%) of those ages 18 to 29 use Facebook". Anecdotally, I know a number of people who 1) say they hate Facebook 2) say they never use it 3) show up in my feed at least once a week for the last month.
I think there's an under-reporting problem here, where there's a stigma associated with using Facebook (it's for old people!) yet younger people still use it a lot. Note that this doesn't bode well for launching a service aimed at people in their 20s. Even though they're the most common demographic, they might not want their peer group to know they're using it.

- the_duke 6y agoInteresting, especially the data around teens. I would have expected a big rise around 18-22 because a lot of college / University and other interest group activity is there, and there are more varied friend groups and family to keep up with. The 4th survey for 13-17 year olds with 50% is somewhat surprising for me though.
