Yep, identical result, though I'm male, 32+ and 52k+.
I do actually use a very small handful of the website versions of some of these (eg, I have been to Walmart's website, I subscribe to some tumblr RSS feeds, I (very occasionally) use Facebook, and I listen to stuff on soundcloud every now and again)..
I generally don't install an App unless there's a very compelling reason to. Most of the time, the App version is going to irritate me with notifications I don't care about, and ask for permissions ranging from questionable to obscene (some game needs access to view all contacts, photos and use my microphone? yeah... no thanks).
