that sounds like a drop in the ocean that is fb's massive and growing userbase

You may be an older person, but for anyone with teens an interesting aspect is that they hardly use it.

FB is turning into a "how to talk to grandma" network.

Isn't that what it's supposed to be? Facebook has the market of young people captured pretty broadly with Instagram. I doubt they would appeal so much to older people if they focused in appealing to younger people.

In the US, sure, but globally they are still growing in almost every demographic.

Yep, and if I remember right, that was the same pattern that the prior dominant social platforms saw before they collapsed.
