And what is even going on on fb these days, AI slop has run rampant and all the 90 year olds are falling for it. So what went wrong with FB - and can they ever actually get young people back? We've got all the insane details on this, Scroll Deep, the only show NOT made out of AI slop.

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.
From that point on, I pretty much new it was a platform worth abandoning.
I think it showed said negative content to some users and positive content to other users as a social experiment. i could be wrong though
And Instagram comments are being rude.... 🙄🙄

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.
I'm 40 and thats the only reason I still have it. My family favour Facebook for group chats. I only post things in insta and let it auto post to my Facebook feed.
@@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). But I really only used it for a year or two before it got totally eclipsed by IG and Snapchat. Idk man I kinda wish we never evolved past the MySpace era 😅
@@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
OMG FARMVILLE 😭 this unlocked memories i would always play it on my dad's account when I was little
Same bro rigatoni is goated
@@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.
The only thing I use on FB these days is the Marketplace
Isn't skibidi toilet Gen Alpha? Some Gen Z "kids" are 27 now lol
Yea it's a gen alpha thing
Yes but gen z has become like millennials, where we blame everything on them for a while until we realise their time has passed
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)
@@josefinarivia You're a cusper, we're classified as Zillennials. I was born in 98 but consider myself more aligned with Gen Z.
@@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 really dislike that social media as a whole has really swerved away from connecting people to friends and loved ones while also connecting them to new people, and more and more into shilling creator *content* and of course ultimately advertising. I don’t want more “content” from more of my social media accounts, I want connections.
It's TERRIBLE!!!! All I see on there are ads and promoted pages. I have no idea what's going on in any of my friends' lives.
Skibidi toilet is gen alpha
As an old person, I didn't even like facebook when I was a young person. I don't think it can be saved.
Ur makeup is genuinely slaying in ur pfp
@@paytonsme aw, thank you! I honed my skills during the 2016 beauty youtube era.
@@V1sual3y3z omg I love that. U’re clearly very talented!! 🫶🏼
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.
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
Gen Z is 1997-2012, which is an insane window considering the gap between people born 1997-2007 and 2008-2012
Us cuspers are crackheads, man
Generations are made up. They aren't a real thing. The original terms were coined by authors. Not sociologists or anything like that.
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 only have Facebook to stalk my professors tbh
Why do you do that?
@@msjkrameycuriosity? I occasionally want to know what people I used to know are up to without keeping in contact with them.
@@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 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 quite like the groups, but it keeps showing me similar groups, and really one "ancient marvels" is plenty.
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 deleted Facebook a long time ago and would never go back
AI, draw me a 1940s British man who just woke up in his PJs on his rocket ship orbiting Earth please
Thank you AI, you got the 3 pin plug right so I know he's British
5:20 CREATE IT IS AS FAR SIDE COMICS
This is unintentionally really funny.
I’m an old person. I only go on FB to see what my other old friends are up to. I don’t see any of that AI stuff unless a friend reposts.
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 :)
gn im a 07 and the kids born in 2011 in school are giving me brain rot. This kid said “skibdi rizz toilet what the sigma” 😭😭 all his friends ran away
As a Christian, i am embarrassed at all of these ppl making AI pictures of Jesus. Like making actually respectful drawings (by hand/digital art) is fine but imagine the prompts that they typed in 💀
I am 95% sure the prompts are also generated by ai and posted by bots. There is literally zero human involvement in the process.
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.
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?
Mark looking attractive in the thumbnail is nuts.
3:33 I have always said that I don’t know why all of the media sites copy ideas each other. Like…be your own thing.
As I gen z, facebook is only for marketplace, occasional events, and my local town’s notice board
Facebook groups are the only reason I’m still on Facebook, a real sense of fandom and community around some of my favourite interests. Everything else about it is truly awful
1:16 DUDE WHAT THE FLIP THAT’S MEEE
I'm so boring for this but...spaghetti
orecchiette because they are little bowls so full of succulent sauce. effervescent.
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
Extremes are the best. The worst thing food can do is be bland
@@msjkramey you get me
so true so real
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.
Twitter, the Little Caesars of news sites. It might not be real but it's Hot... n'Ready.
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.
Bit rogue, but fisarmoniche (how is that even a word) is absolutely S tier pasta
I like a giant macaroni, myself.
Funny that they say they’re trying to appeal to creatives, since all the professional artists I know are dumping them for Cara, because of how Cara refuses to allow AI on their platform 😂
Dude I freaking LOVE tagliatelle pasta.
my favorite pasta has got to be penne or cellentani, you can never go wrong with em
honorable mention to conchiglie
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
I use it for marketplace,keep family contact and a couple of specialist groups
You do commentary well! It’s like watching a late night show.
I got off fb round about ten years ago because of my family ruining it lol
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!
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.
I like this idea. Companies always want to chase a demographic instead of loving the demographic that’s right in front of their face.
Because it's a lot more prudent in the long term to keep adapting to younger generations' demand than to focus on generations that are already dying
@@diskrisk9145 Gen X here. I'm not even 50 - I am certainly not dying!
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.
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.
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.
Skibidi toilet is definitely a gen alpha thing. What’s “cool” is rn still dependent on gen z. Gen alpha looks at what gen z does/likes and emulates that. It has always been like this with generations. Hope this helps. Rizz on the haters or somethin
shoutout to wholewheat conchiglie, I love those lil guys
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
My favourite type of pasta are the Dino shaped ones 😌
everyone knows the best pasta is penne
I’m 19, am very active on Facebook AND don’t see any of this AI generated stuff 🤔🤔
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
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 is tricolor rotini
rigatoni or tagliatelle for me ;)
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"
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.
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 came for the title
my favorite pasta gotta be stellini/stelline
Maybe this is their last ditch effort to pump and dump some new investors
Angel hair is my favorite pasta👼
Penne or fusilli is my favorite
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 🥔
Fettuccini all the way ✨
My favorite pasta is those bowties
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 turned 30 this year and I only use Facebook for the marketplace feature. I haven't been scammed there.
i’m a big cavatappi guy
Cavatelli for the win
I’m a fan of angel hair
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
tricolour rotini is where it's at just sayin
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 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.
When I was 15, I used BBSs.
definitely tagliatelle 👍
Happy birthday, are you my son?
angel hair is best
You underestimate fb marketplace
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 thought jesus could walk on water?????🤔🤔
I’m 19 and I only got Facebook this year because my work uses it as the only form of communication 😅
Pappardelle!
Shells are my favorite
bow tie pasta on top
Fusili.
Squiggly noodles
Holy cannelloni.
Give this man James cordens job
Mmmm bow pasta 🤤
…also i miss the old fbook days! I don’t miss having an account now though 😂
Fusilli cos I'm boring
Rigatoni
Beautiful cabin crew
