I've noticed my boomer parents using instagram and tiktok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. (self.showerthoughts)

Obviously. But have you accessed fb in the last 5 years? There's no content anymore, just ads.

I stopped using Facebook long ago, but that doesn't really matter. I'm not really their target demographic anymore. I expect neither are you. I know people who use Facebook regularly for one reason or another. I don't think that use looks much at all like it did in 2007, but they're still using it.

@Lazylazycat @Silentiea Same. You don't follow boomers, too, do you?

Just family members of that age group really.

I hazard to guess they are the most likely to engage with adds like popups, and banners, and be least likely to recognize native advertisement.
