It’s just not true in reality though. I see people from young teenagers to people in their twenties and thirties using Facebook. It’s dominant amongst all age groups and the “Facebook is for old people” trope is a myth that needs to die out.

Yeah, I understand that too. Becoming the tech person for everyone isn’t fun either.

Bing’s results are superior to Google these days ime. Has been for a good while too.

You’ve gotta realise the average joe doesn’t know how to do any of that stuff though. Even trying to explain it to most people is too much. The frustration I find is, most people don’t actually want to learn, and they’d rather stay ignorant, and basically take pride in it.

I mostly use Signal and SMS for a few people. Facebook isn’t worth it just for Marketplace. Online shopping isn’t that important, let alone for second hand goods.

I mean, you don’t need Facebook to do any of those things you listed. People can still call, or text, or use a myriad of different messaging apps like Signal, Telegram, Viber etc.You don’t need Facebook to find out about events or concerts and the like either.

I don’t disagree. I’m just saying, it’s still incredibly popular. I don’t even have an account myself.
