One confounding factor that I didn't see pointed out in the paper was the fact that Facebook changed over the years; old school Facebook was very much centered around interactions with friends, while the feed eventually started to have more news and much less friend-related activity.
- uniqueuid 3y agoYeah that's a great start! And at the same time, the social network, i.e. friend network of people changes. In terms of size, composition, people are moving as cohorts, but adoption is very different across age brackets, and there will be an age drift in adoption as the social network grows ... so there are just a ton of very biasing drifts going on.
