If the last 18mos haven’t taught the world just how bad statistic modeling can be.......theres no hope left for rational thought.

What amazes me is that even though the larger problem right now appears to be the countries inability to get actual goods and services to the consumer people still get excited about zero value added vaporware that will do nothing except transfer money from a whole bunch of people to make a few people even richer.
And as the younger folks hit those ages they'll use it more. Youtube and tik tok aren't remotely the same, neither is instagram so they won't replace facetubes.
If you don't get someone invested early to create entrenchment then i don't see those users coming to the platform down the road as they age. If they invest their time somewhere else and develop communication channels with people on another platform it becomes more and more difficult to lure them away. Just as someone older isn't likely to onboard to some new latest, greatest fad of the day platform unless they have to do so to keep an eye on their children.
It's an entirely different style of communication so they'll go to it when they realize the current ones they use don't work for them. It's not like they have no idea FB doesn't exist or how it works and most have accounts they just don't use regularly.
By golly, who needs fancy schamcy websites when we got This Old BBS right here! What else is needed to communicate? When even have sexy pics!!! V.92 53K dial up connection FTW!
