Stopped using social media a couple years ago. Best decision of my life. Crazy how much happier life is without it.
I've been living like that since i got into the internet. Since i was too addicted playing games instead of scrolling down social media.
I stopped using it 3 years ago and I'm never using it again.
is TH-cam social media?
@@thaitoan4760 Idk it seems different to me. I only use it to view content and comment every now and then. Instagram is just fishing for likes.
same here, I feel more peaceful.
For me, social media *used* to be fun when it was about connecting with friends and family and easily communicating with people I care about. Then it turned to shit when it became more and more about incessant advertisements, promoting garbage no one cares about, and "influencer" culture where your follower count is more important than what you actually have to say. It's very cult-like, and I never cared for it.
I'll spend my time and money on whatever the fuck I decide I want to, I don't need invasive marketing constantly shoved down my throat telling me what I should want when I'm just trying to use a social platform to connect with people I know. I deleted Facebook years ago, and I've been trying to minimize my social media usage since then. I also have literally zero remorse for using adblock at every single chance I get, salespeople ruin everything if it gets widespread and popular enough.
Well said and very true.
👏👏👍🌻
also theres alot of shady stuff happening with social media, specially how they want to channel your anger/outrage for engagement all the time, pushing content you didn't even followed/agreed in the first place
Also "political correctness" & SJW virtue signaling.
One 💩 rarely comes alone. Those websites have not been made _"by them"_ for your convenience.
They have been made to *control* you, to make you *conform,* and to make you think that their idea's & belives are *your* idea's & believes.
*_" You will own nothing and you will be happy. "_* What does that make you feel... when 'someone else' says that to you? Nothing? O' you fool then! This guy is your worst enemy man!
I havent used facebook in over a decade. They got caught a very long time ago selling peoples wedding photos to advertising companies. A big stink was made about only for it to be revealed that the facebook TOS has some stuff in it making facebook the legal owner of any and all pictures uploaded to facebook. This is still the case and its so much worse now. They have been doing shady shit for over a decade and the average person has only started to catch on very recently.
I'm workig in the web design industry for ~ 20 years now. I never understood the appeal of Facebook other than allowing "normal" people to easily post content online back in the day, where setting-up a blog required some knowledge of basic html etc. It was accessible, it was popular - but for me - the value wasn't there.
Having a feed of posts, that's literally a dumpster of everything just boggles my mind. If i want news - I'll go to a news website. If I want memes - I'll go to a meme site. etc. The platform got cannibalized by advertising, business profiles trying to save money on a website ect.
No king lives forever.
I love how meta verse is a solution to a problem already solved by vrchat
the problem with vrchat is that it was made by a small group of people that didn't seem to want to innovate or even maintain their game after it hit its peak. I don't know if its changed since the last time i've seen it but it was always buggy as shit and had a terrible interface.
@@TurtleMountain Facebook should've just bought VRchat and improved upon it. They would already have a userbase and it would be much better than a probably overly censored metaverse.
suckerberg is always stealing ideas
@@haiscore2614 as someone else said it went to shit. I saw quite a bit of buzz that they made a LOT of mods unavailable. This included accessibly mods.
it certainly doesn't help that all these companies are hell bent on adding features no one wants
Like targeting children and suicides?
twitter is low but the toxicity made it like everyone using twitter cause it is loud and toxic af, in reality only few use it
I used it to look at nsfw arts, you'll be surprised how many artists are migrate to twitter since the fall of tumbler
Instagram and Facebook became shit when I was forced to see a billion adds everytime I opened the apps 😂
Imagine that board meeting. "Alright people, we need more humans".
When I was a kid there was this site called 'banana island', which was a copy of 'Myspace' where you could add pictures, texts and music to your 'island' instead of a page.
After Myspace went on a rocket ship and everyone was using it, the 'cool' site turned to one called 'Lunarstorm'. That one somehow evolved/devolved into a DC++ piracy site later which got taken down. So, when nobody wanted to go back to 'Myspace', 'Facebook' came around in its proto-form. Everyone I knew had a facebook and everyone agreed it was a superior 'Myspace'.
Later 'Twitter' became a thing, but it felt more like a addon to 'Facebook', whereas the girls all started flocking to 'Instagram'. Being a guy in adolescence it was damn impossible to not join 'Instagram' just to have a sneak peak about the gals, haha.
After that, I sort of grew up and stopped following every single social media. Partially because I still have nightmares of my grandpa finding my 'Banana Island' and re-educating me, as he claims, to paint walls for an entire summer. Later it turned into a sort of familial social pressure; Mom: "Why don't you have granny and granpa on facebook? They want to see your stories too!".
The awkwardness of zero anonymity sort of murdered the free-spirit of the old internet for me, so I simply stopped using any site that required my personal info to be viewed for all to see.
Thank god anyone over 30 ain't using IG that much.
facebook fell off the moment facebook games were no longer playable like farmville, sim city, and tamagotchi one where u could feed a pet, edit its room, and play with it etc... those were the golden days where you could play these games, have your friends visit your place and give you some friend bonus vice versa.
fr tho, back when I kid, people spend hard real money to get their farm or dragon level up lmao
thats a dumb move by facebook because they can be the next playstore
my mom is playing farmville everyday and is in the top 5 world right now, so it's definitely still going for some people.
Anyone remember miscrits?
I used to play Wild Ones back then lol
Anyone remember that game?
Edit: auto correct correcting something I didn’t want it to correct in the first place
Only thing I miss about social media is the memes my friends would tag me in.
NEXT 👏 MEME 👏
Good times.
and they were like "i've already seen that shit"
The scariest thing is that when these big companies start to go down, they'd rather the whole world burn with them. And there's a lot of investment and connections that are intertwined in these big companies that can make it happen.
Facebook has the edge in terms of real world connection. It’s easier in work environments to add your coworkers on facebook since you’re not usually just with the young crowd.
A lot of people are migrating to other social media but lots are still using messenger to communicate. But like the video said the younger generation doesn’t want to use it anymore. It will definitely continue to die down
-migrating to other social media- Migrating really is an ugly word. The very concept will be responsible for great mayhem.
Just say _"desert & travel to other websites"._ "Die-worse-ity" in itself is a crimepeak cesspool.
Reject sh°thole culture people, embrace selfimprovement society without r@cism against the own people.
@Redneck Coder what is nwo? google gave me nothin
@@jcon2060 "new world order" conspiracy bullshit
my personal short answer is: facebook is not a social platform anymore. you do add friends yes, but the feed is just commercials and random ass pages.
Facebook literally has the worst UI between all social media
I believe twitter is one of the worst things man has ever created. Social media will be our downfall
Few years ago I attempted to make a Facebook since an account was required to view an image I wanted to see. Not only did it ask for my real name, but being found out you’re using an alias is a ban worthy offense for some reason. Didn’t even bother continuing at that point.
Yeap you can't even use alias now, or you'll be flagged as an impersonator. But due to work reason I have to send a ID verification to Facebook just to unlock my account. Fk this shit.
i made a facebook when I was in middle school to get rewards from mobile games. Made the joke account Filet Mignon and it’s still up to this day, havent used it recently besides logging in once to see if it was still there.
It really freaks me out how before Facebook we were anonymous and then suddenly with Facebook we were all putting our real names there. Breaking every rule of "using the Internet safely" and I still don't get how we all fell for that. I feel stupid. I can't even delete the app from my phone, nor my profile from Facebook itself.. not only that but the pretence of perfection that social media is, gives me an inferiority complex and I'm tired of it. In the past 5 years or so, I've tried to completely phase out social media from my life.
I notice when I do use twitter on occasion, a lot of the time I leave feeling miserable, ugly, and bad at what I love to do (art) and unpopular and unloved as a direct result of me not having "likes". How much this all messed me up growing up with this shit.. I'm better off without it and so are we all.
Also it was always inevitable that Facebook would get "MySpace"d some day right
@@mukamuka0 I think you're right muka... it's really creepy. I looked into why I was unable to remove the app from my phone- turns out that "meta" (facebook), have a deal with all major tech providers to keep the app as a mandatory feature on their devices... how creepy is that !
You can delete Facebook account just have to deactivate it wait over the 30 days or whatever log back in then there is a delete button. Very dumb but it's doable
Facebook is known overseas as the website that only has old people left, but here in the Philippines 90% of the younger generation is mostly active in facebook than instagram or twitter. It's because facebook has almost everything you want on other social websites in one, esp 10 years ago. It has SNS, news, games, etc. And now, people still uses it on a daily basis because they grew up with it and a lot of their friends are also still using it so it's hard to totally convert to another platform.
tldr; in our country, facebook is still the number one social media website used by all ages of people.
Maybe Facebook needs to move their headquarters to the Philippines. 🤣🤣
@@jaggirl not sure but I think same thing is happening in India and Indonesia.
@@LongXue I was joking. But all good.
Have a lovely day..🌻
@@jaggirl nah, I know, I'm in for it haha
you too~ :))
Reason why Instagram is failing to copy TikTok is they don’t have the ai technology China has. Not just the issue with copying itself. There’s key fundamental features of TikTok that Instagram doesn’t understand.
Tiktok's algorithm is fucking insane
The thing with Instagram is that nowadays you can't even grow there unless you're spam posting reels. It barely shows you what the people you follow are posting, you get 5 adds after seeing two or three posts, it doesn't promote your posts unless it's reels and the list goes on. Everyone who's a creator there knows that the engagement has dropped down tremendously after they made these new shitty updates to try to copy tiktok, like you can legit think that most of the people who you followed are inactive because the shitty app won't show you their posts lmao
The thing with Instagram it's that the platform is heavily against the users altogether. Content creators are barely getting by in the algorithm and with each update it gets harder and harder to get any likes whatsoever. Only way to actually get an audience to interact with your account is through reels, something that the algorithm has done on purpose. And people hate that. No wonder.
You shouldn't be using it to gain anything. You should just be using it to share pics with your friends. Seeing it as anything else is dumb and kinda greedy and self-centered. Why should you care about random ppl hearting your pics/videos? LLAL It's just stupid!
@@NathanChambers why should TH-camrs and Streamers want to get followers and have people like their videos? How selfish!
Truly. As someone who follows a handful of art accounts, I swear every three months there's another "IG has changed the algorithm, here's how to get around it" guide.
If they offer you things for free then you are the product
it's also Facebook's policy that's detrimental. For me it was blocking my account for 7 day's on my birthday for condemning a criminal that stabbed a railway worker. i came out of the block and within 2 hours they blocked my account again for 30 day's for telling my family and friends why i was blocked on my birthday. I deactivated my account because it was the last straw for me. (i'm "old" 1980 and i have seen more friends around my age leaving)
Yes, when they implemented their stricker polices in 2021 or 2022 and backdated them I was put in Facebook jail numerous times for posts made in 2020 joking about 5g nano bats and just silliness although some of the posts that were allegedly incriminating I didn't even get to see because Facebook AI deleted them, so I'd just open it to find I was in FB jail for some reason or another without any idea why or way around it. One was like 90 days because so many came through at once it was actually absurd, I'm not someone who posts hateful things or conspiracies or politics, most of my posts are about cats lol. So many ppl left around that time for similar reasons (also a 1980s kid)
Instagram was the new fb where you can see your friends photos and what they are up to just by photo. Fb was where you get photos but mostly just a place to place your thoughts. Turning instagram into TikTok has been very annoying especially when the algorithm as crap and re-shows you stuff you’ve already seen and a lot of it are just repost from TikTok… I just want Instagram to be a place of photos of my friends instead of random ass wheels all the time of videos I don’t care about. Instagram is going to die because Zuckerberg can’t just stay is Lane.
I use Instagram to follow artists and I've seen a handful of them post 30-sec reels of just a still image of their work. Now a lot of art stuff is just clips of the art process and then a split second of the final product. No room to take in the result of hours/days of work. It's makin me sad.
facebook only ever gave me anxiety, and I suppose I'm just one of the many people out there that facebook decided to share only bad and sad news to. So I left both platforms. My life has been loads better holy smokes!
Opening Facebook is like opening the letterbox to remove all the junk mail that you instantly throw in the bin.
2010-2011, Facebook was a gaming platform for me. That's it.
I recently realized that looking through Facebook make me really irritated. Especially looking through comment sections just to see people saying stupid, illogical things based just off the title of the article that is linked or a bunch of text that it's posted with and worse is that other people are "liking/upvoting" and unironically support that kind of statements with no self reflect whatsoever. And "you" as a single unit can't change a thing because rational arguments are just drowned under some fucking support circle/cult of self worship. So frustrating, might delete my acc in the near future.
Stopped believing that stopping social media will make my life better made me a better person
Social media has done more harm then good since it's inception all I'm saying
I used to play a couple of games on facebook, but one day I couldnt remember the password to my account and the password recovery was fucking bullshit, to complete it I had to either talk to 3 people on my friends list so they could send me 1/3rd of a code or prove it was my account by providing real life details like my ID.
Deleted in a toxic relationship cos it was just her "who can I use to hurt him" app. Fuck social media 😊
Teenagers these days say FB is for the oldies.
Iv never had an account myself, it's so rigged.
Well it's not just teens, I'm 23 and I don't even have a FB. Even my college classmates this year and the past years don't use it either. The majority of FB's active user is over the age of 35 and its just going to fall off as time goes on
@@almightyraven8220 my alma mater used to have a fb group for posting pre-class test. Those bastard teachers are deliberately using fb just to screw with us, because of them I have to remember my old password after 3 years of not using it. The ironic part is that I'm study IT and those teachers still think like a dinosaur regarding social media.
I remember being on Facebook when it first launched for college's only. Back when Myspace was still a thing. Once they opened it up and my friend's Mom sent me a friend request, I was out. And that was many years ago. Asmon is right, no teen or college aged person want's their mom, grandma, or other older relatives seeing their drunken photos or who they are talking to etc.
TRUTH SOCIAL is what happened to Facebooks decline. It was released in February 2022, the exact moment facebooks stocks trended downwards forever from that day.
Tumblr died the day they removes NFSW content xD Facebook is just shitty and slap 'Community Guidelines' on you for just breathing.
Just because you don't have access to the internet doesn't mean your life is unlucky or diminished in any way. In fact, you might even be better off. The internet is equally amazing and awful and has just as much capacity to enrich us as it does to hollow us out. Someone who's life is being part of a farming community in the middle of Africa might live the most enriching life or engage in the human experience in ways we could only hope to in the West. Technology is not a requirement to happiness and fulfillment and can even be a hinderance to it.
Yeah, I hate that facebook asks for your ID to prove you're real. I don't have Facebook and when Facebook tries to asks for information on Instagram, I'm out there too. Selling our information should be illegal.
"But I do look like a homeless ghoul" *dead*
Quit Snapchat years ago and recently everything but LI. My life ain’t perfect but I’m much healthier mentally
I think they forgot the fact that some people make multiple accounts, to be able to play those games that are limited in time per day and stuff, like i used to before!
Another main isssue of facebook/meta is that metaverse is doomed to fail everyone that plays games and knows the VR industry is aware of that yet zuckerberg tries to keep pushing for it. A first look of metaverse was posted by him on twitter a while ago and it looked like a 20 year old game... we already have metaverse they are called MMOs and they are one of the hardest to make and critically looked at games gl competing with them...
As someone who used to work with school age kids, I think the generational thing is even WORSE than Asmond says here. For 13 year olds, Facebook is NOT what your parents use. Instagram is what your parents use. Facebook is what your GRANDPARENTS and elderly Aunts use. Snapchat and Discord is what your adult cousins and adult siblings use. If you're 13 you're on Tiktok and talking to your friends on Roblox.
No pain is relative. Being mistreated isn't mitigated by having the internet. People being harmed use what they have access to with less success.
25, and I saw pictures of old friends from college and school getting married and having children on Facebook. It made me feel weird, so I deactivated the shit and never looked back.
if we look closely we will find out that those 3 billion loggin in: majority of them logged in by mistake or got redirected to be allowed to login by facebook etc... they should show how many people login and stay active for more than 10 minutes
I don't think Asmon realize the amount of content TikTok has access to in your phones lol
I dont hate facebook but I quit using it years ago. I found that I would log in, read what people I was "friends" with were talking about, get pissed, remove them from my feed but keep them as a friend, and then repeat the process. I'd get excited when people would message me but then I realized people only message you when they are having an existential crisis and want an outlet for it.
I like how the entire comments section is telling their boring and repetitive story about how they quit social media and how it made them feel better as if anybody gives a single shit. Nobody asked, nor does anybody care. Just watch the video lol.
16:30 THANK YOU. i have felt this way the whole time about the whole metaverse situation. it is like they have created a solution for a problem that never existed. i am a younger person (24) and i have Zero interest in the metaverse for gaming or much else.
Wait, hold on, Facebook has a near a 100% market saturation? Has there been any other product that has been that close?
Coca cola, Heineken?
Yeh the fact that u can google people and get access to their info like address and friends (unless they set their account to private but not every Facebook user knows that) is a big factor as well. At least to me. If u have a Facebook account google urself and make sure if ur info is available or not.
I see people writing about how they stopped using social media and became happy. I never used social media or a smartphone, I have almost no-one to talk to.
Well I think the only reason they still have people using their website is because basically in India it is how a lot of people get their Internet they have to go through Facebook I don’t think that many people in America actually still use it
Facebook was really cool in 2007 when there wasn’t much else to compete with it. Now there’s so many more options. I quit Facebook about 5 years ago and don’t miss it.
Hardly on FB either, mostly have it to be able to talk to family and friends.
Facebook was shit for years. Instagram started to blow this year with so many adds.
3:43 boomer talk. I have serious health problems that decrease quality of life significantly also thinking that some people have worse doesn't improve my mood. There's a thing called empathy and most rich people lack it so I'm not surprised.
I think its largely Facebook lack of ads that competes against google's and the fact they dived into crypto currencies that had people getting out of facebook.
I don't think a majority of people know/care about crypto currencies so much because that change doesn't even affect the user experience in the platform, and it was literally mentioned that Facebook basically has Market saturation meaning there's nothing to market to if everyone already knows what the service/product is. Marketing something doesn't mean people will go to your platform/product. It just wants eyes as a potential option for the consumer
I know TH-cam is identified as being a social media service, but for me personally I never truly viewed them as your typical social media account/service, like Facebook/Instagram. I guess it just depends on how one utilizes their service. Anyways just my opinion, I have a tendency of thinking out loud lol
👍
I think out loud too..lol
I guess that's just because you're young. When I was a teenager, there was only 1 place to post short clips or small videos, and that was youtube. Then ~10 years ago youtube decided to push heavily 10min videos and drown out all the others, so other platforms started to fill the void.
I watch shorts occasionally, but for every one short I watch, I usually go through several videos and streams because I’m looking for something engaging, not quick funny stuff.
In Russia we don't use Facebook because it's trash. Not because it's locked. We use Instagram.
social media stopped being about being social with the people you know very quickly
I also believe people are tired of facebook and fact checking. People don't want to be silenced and talk about things.. You get punished by doing so.
I’ve noticed people that don’t have younger siblings tend to not know this but even my brothers generation which is only 10 years younger than me I’m 31 he’s 21 he doesn’t have a Facebook and neither does my younger sister who is 17 they both say it’s for old people so younger kids I mean some of them might be making a Facebook but in this day and age it’s kind of an untold thing that kids just know that it’s kind of been lame for a while like they have been saying this for like five years or more
I stopped using Facebook when I went to college and everyone I met just told me to follow them on Twitter or Instagram. This was in 2014 and Facebook was dying then too.
i doubt you can call it "dying" while it still has billions of users lol
It obviously wasn’t dying. Look at the graph. It had consistent growth until the last couple years.
@@TheHorreK2 its dying in western world, the number still up because people from india,africa flooding to made the numbers go up
@@MrTaylork1 what I mean this was the time period when people were leaving and going to different platforms. Snapchat was taking off and TikTok would come around in a couple years. So the younger age group was leaving Facebook behind.
@@TheHorreK2 nah, it's dying. If it's losing users, it's dying, it may take decades or two months, but it's dying. When people say something is dying they don't mean it's dead, they mean it's in a decline, which is.
Twitter became Tumblr, that's disgusting.
What is Meta? Find out with the entry fee of $399 for oculus VR headset.
Honestly, how many people will jump from a free facebook to a $399+ Meta. The whole point of social network the ease of access (free, no need to log in as same time), and I think Mark is missing the point there.
There was a period in time when the internet didn't exist, and somehow people were able to live life and be happy.
The merge of feed to explore new pictures, I hated that change. That's what the explore tag was for
I think the only reason why I still have a Facebook is just because of messenger if that didn't exist I probably wouldn't have Facebook installed
I only used facebook for the marketplace, but the experience of using it is awful, messy crap with sellers who don't know how to list a price.
Let’s not forget that Facebook is number one source for good memes
They didn't lose 230 billion, the total apparent value of their stock lost 230 billion. That being the amount the stock was selling for times the total stock.
The stock price has gone up over 68% in the last year, and over 180% in the last 5 years. Doesn’t seem like they’re doing too bad.
Young people only starting social media at age thirteen is a very optimistic thought...
For real... had a MySpace and SecondLife at 11-12... Facebook probably a year later after it came out.
Being part of the generation that grew with these platforms , and nearly always having access to the internet at a whim now... its hard not to see that there will always be another platform , and that there will always be predation , extortion , prostitution, pornography, etc. On these future platforms and that we have to figure something out fast , because its litteraly changing at a rate of 2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256 etc. With the addition to AI algorithms added to the platforms that feed you whatever you want.
Sorry for the essay. Hope you have a wonderful day.
@@thatmeme1360 The constant migration to new platforms is pretty hard to explain, but my best guess is that kids tend to not want to be on the same one as their parents. At least not exclusively.
@@TheEgalisator very true , I would imagine that would hold some validity for why tiktok is so damn popular for kids...amongst other platforms as well.
TH-cam shorts suck because, if there's enough shorts in a channel, it disables the feature of sorting videos by most popular in the "videos" tab.
Even a million dollars is unfathomable to me. But $230 BILLION?!
million dollars would be like 0.0001% change in their worth
The reason I quit Facebook is it became apparent that I was not a customer, instead I was the product being sold to advertisers. F that!
The only thing more tragic than ppl who do not access the internet are ppl who access the internet.
People complaining about Instagram copying TikTok and demanding it go back to the way it was before (with reels) is hilarious, give that Instagram copied that feature off of Snapchat when it looked like Snap would eclipse them
iirc the stock started nosediving around the time europe was concerned of security risks with data and were looking at new terms that still havent been agreed upon by both parties
Problem with facebook it that 15 to 25 year olds dont want to look at aunts pictures of her babies. Instagram casts a brother net for content rather then mostly being for family and friends.
Remember when companies didn't revolve around unending growth?
Facebook was dying, full of old people, and our parents when I was in my teens and early 20s, now im 36 and its still dying, full of old people and our parents. Its good somethings dont change.
Man you got so logical, honest and good opinions on how the media works and how it will work in the comming years. Thanks for the vid bro 🙏
Didn't Apple also make a change to their app store, where it asks you into opt-in to give your data when you download an app?
don't ever, EVER, think they abide by any rules, they may trick you into saying they aint collecting such data, but its easy for them to track.. we just have to accept that if we are online, we are being tracked.
I stopped using facebook cuz i got banned for 24 hours cuz i said girls are weird. Ive never been banned before so i deleted it and only use messenger to talk to my girl and brother thats it.
I had a similar thing got banned cuz some Jeffrey dahmer meme in my memories from 8 years back lol
@@woodyhorton8537 thats some ol bullshit! lmaooo

I threw my oculus in the garbage rather than merge my oculus account with a facebook/meta account. Thousands in the trash between the hardware and digital games library I had amassed.
TH-cam has a lot of contracts with mobile phone providers to be pre-installed on devices, thats another reason TH-cam has continued to be relevant. Its a great marketing decision.
The Homeless Goul sees younger people and said "SMOOTH SKIN".
Oh , I know this one! Her name is Nancy!

As an adulting person, tik tok, ig etc their main focus is selling to kids and teenagers mainly now, hoping to keep them for the long term... Facebook is just odd now, great for marketplace tho lol
I'm in almost my mid 40s now and I mostly abandoned Facebook at least 5 or 6 years ago. It does have a ton of my and my wife's relatives and a couple old friends but I'm not that "social" anyways and I really dispise reading people's dear diary entries. The fact I could log on right now and likely see over 34 posts from one of my sisters she's posted in the last 2 days (when she's not in facebook jail) is annoying. I'm also notoriously over-opinionated so things like my twitter or insta or reddit do not have anyone I actually "know" added and no one knows my names there lol So uncensored and unfiltered is a factor too.
I only use TH-cam the most and Twitch depending on streamers that I watch regularly. Instagram became annoying that you see one of your contacts post and then its endless scrolling of suggested crap. Twitter is just a platform for people to war it out over anything and everything. Had a Facebook account till many years ago and just closed it off due to annoying suggestions. Never saw the appeal in Snapchat and TikTok.
As someone who works with teenagers, I constantly hear them calling FB and Insta cringe and for boomers, all the meta stuff and metaverse is just not at all popular with young people, they see it as old people trying to be cool but failing. Tiktok and snapchat still i think are popular.
Video content makes a huge difference , Facbook is mostly text and some images, Tiktok is much more engaging to young people with short videos, and snapchat with video messaging with friends.
Timeline just filled with ads and bots, plus our parents and grandparents suddenly got a account so us youngsters fled to twitter. Now twitter is going the same direction

I just realized what was written here 😂
Asmon grasped this address thing throught the entire video, I've been using Facebook for over ten years, it never asks you to put your address, it does ask for your phone number, but it can be hidden from everyone
That bombardment happens on TH-cam too. I never watch shorts and they get pushed all the time. I've unsubbed from many channels because they started posting shorts
