ActionfigureJoe Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) “Most young adults perceive Facebook as a place for people in their 40s and 50s,” a March presentation from a team of data scientists said, according to The Verge. “Young adults perceive content as boring, misleading, and negative. They often have to get past irrelevant content to get to what matters.” Edited October 26, 2021 by ActionfigureJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted October 26, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 26, 2021 Facebook sucks and it's definitely for the 40 and older people. I know and see plenty of Boomers on it though. Those who aren't flip phone types 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted October 26, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 26, 2021 Marketplace is a great tool. Only reason I'm on it. I've sold a jeep, 2 motocross bikes and 2 snowmobiles in the past year and half. None lasted a week and all of them I got asking price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marketplace would be the only reason I would ever consider using Facebook but it still hasnt been enough to sway me. Good ole Craigslist still works fine found my mint Pro S last year. 36 years old never had it. Both my Boomer Parents use Facebook for years now so Id say this thread is BS like usual from TDS Joe.

I've bought and sold numerous items using it as Craigslist has pretty much died now. I do use Facebook to keep in touch with family members, and it's also good for the local sports stuff for the kids. Beyond that, I agree it's terrible ... and can understand why kids don't use it (they're clearly using Instagram and Snapchat). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCR1250 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 They installed fiber optics about 1/2 mile from here so about 8 years ago dial up at my home was ended, still not very fast internet but much better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood why people want others so involved in their lives. From the vacations to every single thing their kids do is to be honest a bit strange. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure there is any good internet in Northern Wisconsin. Its is terrible in Vilas county. Thinking of trying Starlink once its available in that area.

Big thing for renters is when the weather is crappy.....at least that what show's up on our reviews. Something to keep the kids entertained I guess. We get about $650 a night and its sucks not having better internet for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybeacher Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Another vote for marketplace. Between kijiji and mp, I can sell anything within a few days. My last mp purchase, this jetboard was literally 10 houses away in my neighborhood, and dirt cheap. A lot of work to get it running properly, but only a couple hundred in parts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
