3. FB is shit, and so few of my friends in my age cohort (18 to 30, I am in the middle) use it much

It far more popular with older folk. I do not like what social is doing to human societies on a global platform. It is all too 'hive mind' for my tastes. The only platform I really use a lot and like is YouTube. I have a burner twitter account simply to view things, but Twitter is 90% cesspool, 10% useful. Instagram is boring AF. WhatsApp and Snapchat are meh. Tumblr and Pinterest BORING. TikTok can be amusing at times, but it is also, like Twitter, a cesspool far too often. Reddit is what you make of it. LinkedIn can go fuck themselves (bad interaction with them, all traces of my account have been wiped for a couple years).

September 26, 2006 - Facebook opened up membership to anyone 13 and up. That is a key date in modern human history.
