46% of women use Pinterest but only 16% of men do, a 30% gap. No other online platforms have gaps that large.
“Young people don’t use Facebook anymore” is simply not true. 70% of people aged 18-29 use Facebook. Interestingly more women use Facebook than men, 77% vs 61%, a 16% gap.
Lots more young people use Instagram. Ditto for Snapchat and TikTok.
DH is always a downer about FB - its become a utility for moms, and replaces the community that we don’t have in our modern world - similar to when housewives use to do chores outside their front door and share gossip/news/information, that is FB for women now. It is critical utility for me, and how I hear about toys/activities for my kids and get my questions answered since I work FT and don’t have time for social gatherings of the housewives in our neighborhood. I am not sure about stock price but FB is now a utility like google.
I use Facebook but only for the most esoteric of things. MeWe and Signal get some mention in my neck of the woods - more so than most of the names on that list.
This forum is anonymous. You can speak freely. FB is a quagmire. Free speech does not exist on FB. Nextdoor is even worse. Gossip and lies. The sharing generation has become the censorship generation.
