I've noticed my boomer parents using instagram and tiktok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. (lemmy.world)

I mean, is it? It's pretty much just boomers using it regularly now.

    If it's just the Boomers, it's dead, why the fuck would companies want to market to people with lots of disposable income and nothing to do all day?????

    This might surprise you to learn, but boomers are, in fact, people. They might not be the driving force behind the parts of the digital economy you care about, but they still count. They still make money for the services they use.

    Obviously. But have you accessed fb in the last 5 years? There's no content anymore, just ads.

    I stopped using Facebook long ago, but that doesn't really matter. I'm not really their target demographic anymore. I expect neither are you. I know people who use Facebook regularly for one reason or another. I don't think that use looks much at all like it did in 2007, but they're still using it.
