I'm surprised to see how young deviantART users are considering the quality of its content. Since 2006, this site has been my goto location for anything graphic-related: drawings, web designs, pictures, Photoshop brushes and actions... Maybe 0-24 years old is the period when you're the most creative?
About Facebook: it's a website where you build your network, especially with family and close friends. Although I don't visit it anymore, I know my friends and family use it solely to follow each other's lives ('What have you been up to?'), while sharing theirs as well. It's not a one-time visit. You follow the evolution of your relations' lives, especially the major events of a lifetime: marriage and children. Facebook is the network where people go to develop and share their real identity (whether it's a good decision or not). The more you use it, the more you feel connected to it (and compelled to make a contribution). That's why most Facebook users who joined it at the age of 25-35 are now in their mid-life, because Facebook is the only online network they're part of.

- jlarocco 13y agoAnother possibility is that people ages 0-24 haven't realized they can and/or need to get paid for being creative.
- jiggy2011 13y agoThat's just counting signups. Not necessarily who the active/popular users are. There's a lot of spam,junk and stolen work on deviantart, the site just makes efforts to showcase the good stuff. If you weighted it based on artist popularity you might get a different picture.
