I’m a gen Z born in 2000- probably 95% of my peers will tell you they only use Facebook to keep in contact with older family members. I still have an account but I never use it and have absolutely no desire to go back now lol
I was born in 1998, I remember back in middle school in the early 2010s it was the coolest thing ever to lie about your age and get a Facebook account. I had one to play all the flash games. I still have that account, but I only check it like 3 or 4 times a year unless I need to be in contact with my family while on a trip. Crazy how fast it went from the coolest thing ever as kids to the thing only old people use.

@@NottJoeyOfficial right 😭 my mom made me wait till I was 13, and I was literally counting down the days until i could make a Facebook and Instagram (back before they were two totally separate platforms lol).

@@gcooper642 that’s really interesting! I do feel like Messenger and Marketplace are probably the most successful & active parts of the site nowadays. I also wonder how many people do the same share-to-Facebook thing; but it’s honestly bonkers to me that that feature is only an option because FB got big enough to buy and consume Instagram lol
@NottJoeyOfficial I was born in 2000, and in 2009, I used it with my mom's supervision. I loved the games and talked to my friends all the time. Starting in 2014, I only used it to check on family, and I don't post- if I do post, it's to share something a family member needs me to post, or thanking my family for the birthday messages.
I’m about to turn 24, I wish my feed looked like this. Instead it’s just old friends getting pregnant, engaged or graduating uni. I made a fb when I was 10 to play FarmVille. My favourite pasta is rigatoni.
Yess fb is so boring, and its obvious a lot the content is rage bait. I'm your age and haven't used it in like 5 years now, farmville before microtransactions was peak fb era lol
That's your mid 20s on fb. I'm 34 so was there when it was still fun and the pregnancies were accidental. It's just a graveyard and a live diary now for when your old friends have big life events. It will never grow past this. Leave it or embrace it. So many people now are dead or are too old to post anything of any relevance or and are too scared not to offend others, it's too public. Treat it as a graveyard or a way to keep in touch with your gran. Hope this helps, things will get worse
@@thewhitegoldfish I'm about to 24 and I vividly remember when it was fun and played games all the time- I was 9, and using it with my mom's supervision so she could keep me safe, but it was far from a graveyard or pregnancies.

I don’t want more “content” from more of my social media accounts, I want connections.
I never thought of myself as gen Z, I'm definitely more aligned to millennial. But it probably depends on the person (I'm 27, about to be 28, born 1996)
@@Steepledas a non american it seems so weird to me this generations thing, but I'm also a 32 year old who is surrounded by people who are 30 years older, so I guess I don't fit?
Facebooks biggest flaw is that as a company it's reactive. It doesn't have anything forward thinking it's just reacting to it's declining popularity. If it had implemented some of these changes like the clamp down on news it might have stopped it from becoming such a toxic platform and burned it's reputation.
I was born in '98 so while I fit the technical definition of Gen-Z, I grew up as the youngest in the family so have more in common with Millennials. I stopped using Facebook for about 5 years and only came back in the last year or so because my mum got sad that I could never see any of her posts (nevermind that most of the posts either included things I was present to witness first-hand or she regaled for me in real life, mum sad = bad). This then evolved to me turning on the cross-post of my Instagram feed to my Facebook feed because, again, my mum would get sad that my posts weren't in the feed of her app of choice. I don't actively use Facebook, I just scan it every so often for posts from my family and drop the obligatory like/love/haha to acknowledge that I saw it. It makes them happy and it doesn't take much from me to do it. I see Facebook as the internet's retirement home, but then people only a couple years older than me still use Facebook as one of their primary social media apps. Point is, being kind of in-between generations can make you feel like you don't really fit in with either camp.
Truly a retirement home of the internet. But it's crazy that people my age or a little older are the elderly here. Also a bit on the millennial gen z cusp
That’s often the same about a lot of generations. It’s even worse when they were defined in 20-year chunks. Me born in 1980 and someone born even in 94 had extremely different childhoods, let alone someone born in 2000. I prefer to categorize myself as of the bridge generation of the late 70s/early 80s, who came of age alongside the Internet, who lived with both Analog and Digital versions of things, who came into the job market just as the economy was on the brink, who were the youngest young adults of 9/11, etc. The bridge between Gen X and Millennials. Sociologists call it the Xennial Generation, Generation Catalano, and the Oregon Trail Generation. I like the last name best. History often gets in the way of neat Generational cutoffs.
@@MegCazalet I quite like the way they've called my age bracket Zillenials because I've always identified with young millennials more than gen Z. The issue is we've had a tech revolution midway through which has caused a generational divide between the ones that grew up without and into it, and the ones that always had it
@@motornaut It's funny because I'm also classified as a Zillennial, but I identify more with the Gen Z aspect of it. I was born in 98 though, so that might explain it. It is weird though because I feel like I don't fully relate to either generation. The 2000's was an interesting time to grow up in.
I seriously doubt the number of active users websites like Facebok claims. They tend to stretch that number based on tehcnicality so example, I don't use facebook, but I occasionally have to begrudgingly use messenger because that's the best way to contact someone and I'm sure Facebook counts me as an active user. Also the main issue is IMO is younger people don't want to be on the same website as their fmily. I'm a millenial and a key reason I left was family drama and lack of privacy from my family. I think people of different ages need their own space on the internet to hangout with their peers. And I guarantee you when Gen Alpha grows up in the next 5 years Tik Tok will be the new Boomer social media with all the OLD Gen Z'ers on it (who are btw in their early to late 20s ) and something new would take it's place.
I deleted my Facebook recently as for some reason instead seeing my friends post stuff (maybe they didn't) I got loads of suggested posts about: flat earth, anti-science, anti-"woke" BS. No idea how that happened as I don't like any of those things.
I only use facebook for the groups function. that's the only thing they've got going for them everything else is garbage. The layout/interface also makes zero sense to me and is so messy
I’m 30, so not really gen z, but the only reason I’m still on facebook is the groups. There are no internet forums anymore (that people use) so where else do I go to find events in my area or people sharing my interests? But the feed is AWFUL. It’s just ads and suggested posts with ai images of kids in rural Africa supposedly making incredible sculptures out of scrap material. Very little are actually from groups or pages I’m following
Me too! And even the posts from groups can be the worst ones because of the algorithm boosting "engagement" spam. And it'll ONLY show me things I interact with so I have to keep hiding the same groups from my feed just to see any others show up
the only thing i do on facebook is post pictures of a holiday or something and then my distant family members will comment something like "wow you should really visit this one place" while im already back home from the holiday
Facebook already has Instagram for young people. It’s okay to have one app for one target audience and one app for another. It’s okay, ideal even, for an app to focus on a specific kind of thing. Their mistake, which has been for years now, is wanting to offer everything and have everyone on every app. It’s entitled desperation. And it shows! Not to mention, it ruins the apps. As a collective, I think we’re also so tired of and overwhelmed by social media and the state they are in now. Why would I want another one?
@@msjkrameyHow else would you know their daily schedules in minute detail? For a, uh, research project of course! Just collecting data…nothing to see here
I never had facebook, but as I am starting university I am definitly considering creating an account. Where I am from it is common to find rooms/dorms on facebook or reach out to people for these type of occasions on facebook. So basically the only reason why I'd get facebook is for the sake of finding a roof to live under :)
The last time I posted something on facebook, my mum and mother in-law both didn't get it and I had to go through layers of internet history so they understood a 2 second meme. Over the next few days they individually called me to express their confusion over it so...yeah, not exactly a fun, sharing experience 😅 Does risoni count as pasta? Love risoni!
The 40 million is likely derived from all the 30 to 50 year old parents use messenger as a main communication source. Second would be businesses using Facebook pages and messenger as online storefronts. Average user and those under 30, no.
angel hair pasta is the GOAT fr !! either that or udon. I know these are on the opposite ends of a spectrum but you don't have to understand the intricacies of my twisted mind to enjoy it

Facebook should lean into whatever demographic they have left and perhaps that is the older population. Get more advertising from retirement communities, cruise holidays, health in aging, etc. The boomers and older GenX are a big growing market themselves so why not cater to who you already have on the platform.
Oh they target ads. As soon as I hit 40 I started get anti wrinkle cream and under eye makeup "that won't sit in the creases" adverts. They don't think I can afford cruises yet, but it will happen.
My girlfriend got me to make a facebook account back in like 8th grade (2007). I didn't really use it initially, but eventually got on it and used it. I actively made the decision to stop looking at my feed in late 2020. I'm sure anyone could understand why. I've only looked at it a few times since. I still use marketplace and messenger, but I try to avoid newsfeed. Just looking at my feed now, I'm missing absolutely nothing. When facebook dies, we'll all move on.
i have a facebook and i post but it’s because that’s the only place i can keep my extended family up to date on my life and i love my family so that’s kinda where i keep in touch with them
I'm a gen Xer who only has a Facebook account to engage with animal rescues and access Marketplace. Even so, I still feel shame admitting I have an account.
The empty internet thing is an old tech thought expirament too. I think its the paperclip making ai where basically the idea is an unrestrained ai made to be the most efficient at making paperclips would eventually melt down the entire planet for paperclips. Companies decided to monetize engagement so now it doesn't matter if its real or not. We have essentially made social media into qvc.
Happy birthday, stop drowning. My favorite type of pasta is Conchiglie Rigate because they absorb a lot of sauce and in my mothertongue their name sounds like "Cummed out Barfer"
As an old person, I only have Facebook because I'm Brazilian and it's required, the same way I have an Instagram, WhatsApp and tik tok for the same reason, but my weekly time spent on any of them wouldn't be an 1 hour combined, the only social media a use consistently is youtube, and every 6 months of so my adhd brain decides to open reddit and waste its time for like a day.
I'm 29, I got Facebook in highschool. The only reason I still have it is for the art groups I'm in and to sell stuff on marketplace 😅 I have Instagram and tiktok for the art and sewing people also but don't like it them much either. Love the artists I find on all of them. but hate the gimmicks the platforms pull on their usuers.
I use facebook to hate scroll and judge my relatives. Got to be prepared for whatever nonsense my aunt is going to be claiming to be a victim of next. My grandmother was a social arsonist on there (burned bridges as a hobby) who doesn't enjoy a hate scroll to see who has earned barbaras wrath this week
I’m an older gen z but idk, I haven’t bothered to log in or update since 2019. Social media in general is just too much advertisements, and I’m tired of being sold things I don’t need or want. Also I like pesto with spicy sausage and potato gnocchi 🥔
I’m gen z and unfortunately I use Facebook on a daily basis because a lot of people in the equine community use it, but otherwise it has little appeal. The only positive aspect is the ability to create groups, which I guess you could compare to subreddits.
I left a few times before I made my exit stick a few years ago. Though I'm not the young demographic they seek (I'm 61 in a few weeks), I can't think of anything that would pull me back to that drama-fest of masks and narcissism. I've recovered the joy of reading books. With pages. An early adopter of the internet, I'm leaving it behind more and more to live a more authentic, unplugged life.
I’ve noticed in smaller towns (like mine) a lot of people around my age(25) have and still actively use facebook. Now I deleted mine recently and had never used it but I do use snapchat often, which a lot of people I think also see as a dying social media but I prefer it cuz I only have 3 friends and 2 of them are far away and 1 is my fiancée. Also I prefer to send videos to people rather than type out a whole situation that happened to me.
I have to scroll past loads of ads and recommended accounts I have no interest in, just to see posts by friends and family. Really irritating. And it has to be fusili.
they call tiktok the brainrot, but facebook is the real brainrot. It's an awful broken site and i'm only forced to use it for work, but all i see is ai images, content-farming style content that is so obviously fake and just made for the sake of getting views and money. It's awful.
FB was THE thing when I was a teen - now I like that it reminds of birthdays & otherwise I/ my friends just use it for events. Like is there another place now to do event invites/ pages in a similar way?? Genuine question. I actually think half the time I'm even reminded of bdays is when I pop in briefly to check out event updates 😅
I remember hearing that Facebook was identified as prioritising showing comments with “angry”🤬 reactions higher than any other reaction, trying to get people arguing with each other and highlighting negativity over positive stuff.

My girlfriend got me to make a facebook account back in like 8th grade (2007). I didn't really use it initially, but eventually got on it and used it. I actively made the decision to stop looking at my feed in late 2020. I'm sure anyone could understand why. I've only looked at it a few times since. I still use marketplace and messenger, but I try to avoid newsfeed. Just looking at my feed now, I'm missing absolutely nothing. When facebook dies, we'll all move on.
I’m 21 and all that Facebook is trying to do is make Instagram on Facebook. That’s why most of gen z uses Instagram
i have a facebook and i post but it’s because that’s the only place i can keep my extended family up to date on my life and i love my family so that’s kinda where i keep in touch with them
I'm a gen Xer who only has a Facebook account to engage with animal rescues and access Marketplace. Even so, I still feel shame admitting I have an account.
1:16 DUDE WHAT THE FLIP THAT’S MEEE
Bit rogue, but fisarmoniche (how is that even a word) is absolutely S tier pasta
The empty internet thing is an old tech thought expirament too. I think its the paperclip making ai where basically the idea is an unrestrained ai made to be the most efficient at making paperclips would eventually melt down the entire planet for paperclips.
Companies decided to monetize engagement so now it doesn't matter if its real or not.
We have essentially made social media into qvc.
my favorite pasta has got to be penne or cellentani, you can never go wrong with em
honorable mention to conchiglie
shoutout to wholewheat conchiglie, I love those lil guys
Happy birthday, stop drowning. My favorite type of pasta is Conchiglie Rigate because they absorb a lot of sauce and in my mothertongue their name sounds like "Cummed out Barfer"
I use it for marketplace,keep family contact and a couple of specialist groups
As an old person, I only have Facebook because I'm Brazilian and it's required, the same way I have an Instagram, WhatsApp and tik tok for the same reason, but my weekly time spent on any of them wouldn't be an 1 hour combined, the only social media a use consistently is youtube, and every 6 months of so my adhd brain decides to open reddit and waste its time for like a day.
Conchiglie is the best pasta.
I'm 29, I got Facebook in highschool. The only reason I still have it is for the art groups I'm in and to sell stuff on marketplace 😅 I have Instagram and tiktok for the art and sewing people also but don't like it them much either. Love the artists I find on all of them. but hate the gimmicks the platforms pull on their usuers.
I use facebook to hate scroll and judge my relatives. Got to be prepared for whatever nonsense my aunt is going to be claiming to be a victim of next. My grandmother was a social arsonist on there (burned bridges as a hobby) who doesn't enjoy a hate scroll to see who has earned barbaras wrath this week
No platform does petty fights and drama like Facebook. I've forgotten his name but there's that guy who turned a few fb arguments into songs
I’m an older gen z but idk, I haven’t bothered to log in or update since 2019. Social media in general is just too much advertisements, and I’m tired of being sold things I don’t need or want.
Also I like pesto with spicy sausage and potato gnocchi 🥔
I’m gen z and unfortunately I use Facebook on a daily basis because a lot of people in the equine community use it, but otherwise it has little appeal. The only positive aspect is the ability to create groups, which I guess you could compare to subreddits.
I got off fb round about ten years ago because of my family ruining it lol
Penne or fusilli is my favorite
I left a few times before I made my exit stick a few years ago. Though I'm not the young demographic they seek (I'm 61 in a few weeks), I can't think of anything that would pull me back to that drama-fest of masks and narcissism. I've recovered the joy of reading books. With pages. An early adopter of the internet, I'm leaving it behind more and more to live a more authentic, unplugged life.
I’ve noticed in smaller towns (like mine) a lot of people around my age(25) have and still actively use facebook. Now I deleted mine recently and had never used it but I do use snapchat often, which a lot of people I think also see as a dying social media but I prefer it cuz I only have 3 friends and 2 of them are far away and 1 is my fiancée. Also I prefer to send videos to people rather than type out a whole situation that happened to me.
My favorite pasta is tricolor rotini
My favourite type of pasta are the Dino shaped ones 😌
I have to scroll past loads of ads and recommended accounts I have no interest in, just to see posts by friends and family. Really irritating. And it has to be fusili.
tricolour rotini is where it's at just sayin
i’m a big cavatappi guy
My favorite pasta is those bowties
Maybe this is their last ditch effort to pump and dump some new investors
I don't mind that "young people" don't use facebook. I only like facebook for the "memories" of what I was up to on this day x years ago.
Angel hair is my favorite pasta👼
my favorite pasta gotta be stellini/stelline
Cavatelli for the win
everyone knows the best pasta is penne
If they put a comment section in Facebook market place I’d never use another social media again
I have excellent/terrible news for you about buy and sell groups
Give this man James cordens job
I’m 19, am very active on Facebook AND don’t see any of this AI generated stuff 🤔🤔
I turned 30 this year and I only use Facebook for the marketplace feature. I haven't been scammed there.
Why don't pictures like this ever trend
i thought jesus could walk on water?????🤔🤔
rigatoni or tagliatelle for me ;)
Little micro macaroni tubes ^^;;
A lot of younger people have FB accounts because of Marketplace
I came for the title
I’m 19 and I only got Facebook this year because my work uses it as the only form of communication 😅
Mmmm bow pasta 🤤
…also i miss the old fbook days! I don’t miss having an account now though 😂
angel hair is best
they call tiktok the brainrot, but facebook is the real brainrot. It's an awful broken site and i'm only forced to use it for work, but all i see is ai images, content-farming style content that is so obviously fake and just made for the sake of getting views and money. It's awful.
Big time fusilli fan
Beautiful cabin crew
I’m a fan of angel hair
definitely tagliatelle 👍
FB was THE thing when I was a teen - now I like that it reminds of birthdays & otherwise I/ my friends just use it for events.
Like is there another place now to do event invites/ pages in a similar way?? Genuine question.
I actually think half the time I'm even reminded of bdays is when I pop in briefly to check out event updates 😅
Meetup is made for group events, maybe that's something like what you're looking for?
@@pavlovs-wug oh maybe! I don't think I've ever really looked at it haha.. something to consider, cheers 👍
Happy birthday, are you my son?
Ngl the facebook reels sometimes get me for an hour 😅
When I was 15, I used BBSs.
