Yup. I’m 33 and stopped using Facebook a year ago. YouTube is what I’m all about. I use it to listen to ML lectures mostly, and I share videos of my robots. Facebook seems like it’s for old people now or something, and I’m disgusted with how creepy that site became.

In the world the article is talking about, you do realise that YOU are one of these 'old people' right?

I'm 34 and recently got into YouTube in a really big way - as a consumer, not a content creator. I still have a Facebook account (for event invitations and Messenger, go figure) but don't look at the newsfeed at all and my hours spent on there are dwindling as the content becomes more and more useless.
My few younger relatives who use FB have very basic "token accounts" that they don't actually seem to use.

Off-topic slightly, but is there a way to change my YT username? In other words, changing https://www.youtube.com/user/[mycurrentusername] to [newusername] ?

You need +100 subs

What a bizarre requirement. Why should someone need 100 subscribers to do a simple action like changing their account name?
Why not limit how often you can change it, or make some other kind of limitation?
