even for niche topics i only recall "influencers" left there by the time i left.

i guess it's the new Facebook, social network for old people who will not open a different app ever, for some small groups?



Twitter has always skewed older, in terms of not having kids on it, but it's still mostly people in their 20s and 30s. And there's far less 50+ yr olds in 2024 than FB according to statista:

Twitters largest demo is 25-34yr olds = 36%, 18-24 = 34.2%. While 50+ yr = 7%

Facebooks largest demo is 25-34yr olds = 24% followed by 35-44 = 19%. While 50+ yr = 24%

16-28 is the gold of demographics. all those numbers skew A LOT to the lower end of the age range to pretend they have that demographic when in reality they do not.


If you look at "latest" and not "recommended", you don't see those, and if you do, you can just unfollow.
