Even before investigations revealed that the company’s products were destroying teens’ mental health, interest in its flagship product was dropping off a cliff. Since 2019, teen usage of the app has declined by 13 percent, and over the next two years, it’s expected to drop another 45 percent. “Aging up is a real issue” a researcher wrote in an internal memo revealed last week. Perhaps that’s why Facebook was considering new products targeted at children as young as six years old
A brief aside: Facebook recently announced that it was rebranding its corporate entity as Meta. The Facebook name will still apply to its core app and platform

We should offer a service called "Face Doodle Book" for young children.:p

I think the trend nowadays is that the younger generation tends to prefer services that are quicker and better looking. I think Facebook is too formal. But I don't think we need to force ourselves to capture the younger generation.

Got to get them ready for the metaverse...verse...verse. So that in 10 years everybody will be wearing goggles and living their lives in a VR.

Social media, makes you dumb(er) and angry.
