America’s Teens Are Choosing YouTube Over Facebook

Re:America’s Teens Are Choosing YouTube Over Facebook by josefresco on Friday June 01, 2018 @08:19AM (#17204579)

I quit over 2 years ago. I have kids, and a wife who is on Facebook. If I was a single dad, I'd probably be "forced" to use FB to communicate & coordinate with other kid's Moms and school parent groups etc.

I asked my wife if she uses "Events" since I hear about that so often here at HN and she doesn't - she said she occasionally sees events posted from other users but it's rare. Maybe Facebook Events are for 18-30 year olds and we've aged out?

I use events still and I'm past that age range. It's just a way to organize social gatherings and (rarely) find things to do you wouldn't otherwise know about.

My husband actually creates private events for things he's going to do because it gives him reminders. He could use Google calendar or something for that, sure, but he already uses events.
