Let's not lose sight of the fact that Facebook is primarily used by 'boomers at this point. 'Boomers don't do well with Tinder. This isn't Facebook trying to get with the kidz, this is Facebook deciding eHarmony is weak.

This is true. I have heard young kids saying, "we only use facebook to talk to our grandparents." a couple of times.

It seems like the kidz are using snapchat these days and probably something else that I don't know about because I'm no longer a kid.

it's all about instagram and twitter in that order, at least from what i can see

instagram for showing how good your life is and twitter for showing how shit you have it

I made fun of a teenager for using Facebook the other day.

Or maybe she was in her 20's.

Can't tell from this far away. Anyone between about 13 and 35 is the same age, as far as I'm concerned.

...that's a good point. I mean, I wonder if having dating services built into social media platforms would be useful, but facebook is for boomers and the occasional event organization by younger people (my college's anime club uses it to organise meetings)
