  WHERE IS LEMMY ON THE CHART

  This is such embarrassing reporting from The Verge. Leave it to the AI reporter to fail to understand a very basic survey I guess.

  Far from a relic, Facebook remains a fixture for more than 70% of Americans.

  This is literally not what the study says. The study says that 70% of people who used some type of social media used Facebook. Not 70% of Americans.

  Here’s the gist of the question they asked:

  % of U.S. adults who say they ever use …

  People who didn’t answer weren’t included.

  And, if someone used Facebook for a buy/sell/trade transaction, it’s counted as “social media” usage.

  No wonder YouTube is at the top. Yikes.

    Not sure how you got to that conclusion. The survey prompt was “Please indicate whether or not you ever use the following websites or apps.” 29% responded that they do not use the platform, less than 1% did not respond. That’s 70%.

      You’re right, I was misreading pages 41 and 42 of the data.

      I appreciate the correction!

  So wild that Facebook still is a thing.

    I agree, and I cannot find a replacement for local buying/selling and marketplaces. So many local small businesses only exist online through their Facebook page.

  Why do these studies include YouTube as a social media network?

  Might as well include Medium.

  But remember folks, it’s “not a monopoly.”
