I'm much older than that, but I have millenial kids and just some days ago we talked about it. They all use social media apps sometimes, but do it for communication (private messages/groups/etc) or for entertainment. They all consider social media in social media sense far too toxic and unhealthy. They all know people using social media actively though and there seems to be two reasons – as part of trying to build a professional brand or inertia. The last group seem rather sad for them and reminds me my experience from my thirties. I think that all of us know people who are stuck in some area in our past and can't understand that the world around them has moved on.
Note that these observations are probably very specific to area and social group.
