Young people decide what's popular, if you fuck it up they will bail for another platform. Hopefully someone spins up a competitor quickly to grab the people in between the forced "new app"
Dude Facebook hasn't been cool in a decade and it's still very much a thing
wait until the boomer generation stops using it...
I've been waiting for the boomer generation to stop any of what they're doing for 30 years. I suspect they'll still be a viable political bloc for the next 20 years. And even then, gen x and gen z will pick up right where they left off.
Genz conservative voters tend to be more right wing than their parents or boomers family. That's why they want to target the younger population
The mass die-off of boomers will be a great thing. They ain't all bad, but they are the worst generation. Absolute poison.
Based on my parents, I’m pretty sure it’s genx keeping it alive.
At least in 50 more years humanity will finally be free of Zuckerberg
I don’t think that will be enough time…
Lol, you mean when they die? Yeah, that's not a bad point. They aren't getting any younger.
the dieing days are here for the first wave of boomers and it's only going to increase.... day by day
im genx and I'm of the opinion that my parents and their generation are the most selfish and most self centered generation in the history of this country. They spoiled their opportunities to do what they thought was right as young people.... so some genxrs are also pieces of shit but most people of my generation understand we are a skipped generation and the young people are the future. We are not like our parents that is for sure.
