Anecdotally...<p>The lion&#x27;s share of my friends, and their friends, and their friends, are not on and posting to Facebook almost at all. For most of them it&#x27;s just an app to schedule events.<p>A lot of the now college students a generation younger than me are using it like Twitter if at all -- self-promotion for the ones that are like event promoters or self-styled social movers, and passive consumption of that traffic.<p>The only reason I&#x27;m on it at all is because I moved pretty far away from home, and folks in my parents&#x27; generation and&#x2F;or geography in the last year or two seriously dug into it en masse. So, I post to remind Mom I&#x27;m still alive.<p>Messenger is a thing, WhatsApp and Instagram are things. But the core Facebook is hollowing out with the people I interact with, and they&#x27;re quite the opposite from Luddites or technophobes.<p>Success for that company is a assured as their ability to acquire the next big social connection app. When they stop making good bets, we&#x27;ll see how they&#x27;re doing I guess.
