http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/11/11/social-media-update-2016/ Everybody says the kids don't use Facebook but at least some research says exactly the opposite. I'm open to looking at other figures but untill I see them I'll count the Facebook hating children as pundit lore.
"use" is such a slippery term. You'll notice that the study you found cuts off at 18; they ran the numbers in 2015 but "use" counts as "I've logged into it in the past two weeks. Young adults have Facebook the same reason you have LinkedIn - that's where grownups expect to find you. College recruiters look at your Facebook. Employers look at your Facebook. Your friends look at Instagram and Snapchat, so Instagram and Snapchat are where your engagement is.
