I'd say FB was more millennial focused, since that's who was in college when it started.

But, I agree with your point. Maybe 30+, though.

FB was a game changer early on. It was absolutely a great tool to meet single women. This was in 2004/2005. It was trendy. It was the only social network really.

I’ll never forget when they opened up Facebook to non college people. I remember deleting so many posts/pictures once I saw my parents get an account.

Others were saying that. Their points seem valid. I know it is true that almost everyone age 29 or younger that I know...they are not interested in participating in Facebook.
So I'm saying that Facebook: 1)has an incredibly loyal customer base...and...2) that passionate customer base will age and Facebook's LONG term outlook seems grim. Unless they can find a way to make the younger generation use them.

It is really easy. Make short videos with open sourced licensed content and call the TokTiks the pat the top 100 TikTok influencers absurd money to go to TokTik instead. Then start and campaign using the next 100 influencers on TikTok to start talking about terrible TokTik has become and start a TikTok campain to leave on a certain date to join everyone else on TokTik.

I think that’s part of the problem, the younger generation leaves the platform that the parents/family/friends of family/etc are on. I remember having this conversation with a group of my friends 5 years ago over adult beverages, how our kids are slowly migrating off of FB to Instagram because of the older adults are all involved on FB now. Now those same older adults are migrating off of FB to Instagram, guess who has started or already migrated off of IG? The younger generation, its now TikTok and Snapchat, SC has the gimmick of using streaks, which if you listen to them all talk, it is a big deal to them.

If you have a chance, please enlighten me with what is meant by "using streaks".
Sorry if I'm not cool enough to know that phrase as it relates to social media.

Not a Snapchat user, though I did ask my kids one day, what the heck was a streak. Basically you get a point for everyday you interact with a user and you have to consecutively keep this up. Basically something else to give them a popularity pissing contest who talked to who the most, and it works, those kids at school rattle about those streaks constantly.

What Streaks Are on Snapchat (and What to Know About Them)

Streaks or "snapstreaks" offer a fun way to keep photo and video conversations going with friends on Snapchat.

I have been picking up a few shares on every drop. I could drop more to the low 80 but I think in the long term, it should be fine.

I picked up a few shares on Friday at $7.91 and sold before close at $10.16 today. That was a quick 28% gain.
