- Overtonwindow 4y agoPerhaps there is hope for the younger generation after all…
- zingplex 4y agoI don't know, it seems to me they just all moved over to Tik Tok, which doesn't seem much better.
- gloryjulio 4y agoExactly, how are the young's data being farmed by China's government any better
- 7speter 4y agoWell the chinese are communists and not profit driven, what more could you ask for? (Hard /s)
- zucked 4y agoThey are having their attention and habits hijacked via video from TikTok instead. I'd argue that's not better, at all.
- vannevar 4y agoSaying they abandoned Facebook is not really accurate, it isn't like the same cohort had Facebook accounts and then left. More accurate to say that Facebook is no longer attracting new teen users at nearly the rate they used to.

With IG stories and TikTok, thought Snapchat was dead. Surprised to see it not only attracts new users but is popular in the teen group.
- tssva 4y agoIf you had asked me a couple of years ago, I would have thought the same about Snapchat but about 2 years ago my teen daughter started using it. It is by far the most commonly used messaging service for her and her friends. She participates in a sport that leads her to traveling a good deal and meet teens from around the US. When she meets someone she wants to keep in touch with exchanging Snapchat info is how they do it.
