Boomers, Gen x, and older millennials are a massive clientele. You absolutely cannot convince them to abandon Facebook.

Not my experience w/ my circle as we are all GenX. We use other ways to keep in touch.

That data says about half the user base is not what you say it is.

Largest share 25-34, 18-24 in very close third place, making 18-34 about 42%. Also, general usage still expected to grow (somehow), so it's not just old people staying there forever.

34 in 2025 is millenial but not even older millenial.
