Random Theory: Middle aged adults are more active on social media than young ppl

Say yes to the sex industry!
If you listened to the people who make speeches at my college, you’d think every young person couldn’t take their eyes off Facebook or twitter.
Honestly though, none of my friends have any significant presence on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. I do think girls are obsessed with social media regardless of age but a lot of guys don’t seem to care about updating their status on Twitter and often I find the last time they posted anything was months or years ago. I know a lot more middle aged people who make daily updates or multiple updates a day than young people.
Young guys, in my experience, are much more attracted to anonymous Internet websites/forums like this one or like reddit, Discord, and 4chan than they are interested in Twitter or Facebook. Probably cause guys want to say more inappropriate and offensive stuff or argue with people and if you do that on Facebook your whole family can see that you just casually dropped the N bomb in casual conversation 😂.

I'm 78 and have never posted on any social media accept this one. I think it is just a personality thing rather than age.

Age would have been posted but the most recent one from that site is from 2016 on that?
Texting can be very appealing, but I still like to spend time with books, and wo electronics.

If guys said the exact same stuff or posted the same pictures it would probably look kind of weird. But given that there are some guys who are just as active as girls I don't think its about a lack of material so much as a lack of interest.
I think middle aged adults are more active because of the wider audience you mention. Young people are more likely to only talk with other young people and we are a smaller part of the population than middle aged adults are. Plus I think Facebook and Twitter is too mainstream for a lot of young people.

Yeah they are on Snapchat a lot. I definitely was including Instagram and Snapchat.

I think guys just don't really care about that as much. Discussions between guys are often more related to hobbies and ideas than updating one another of our activities.

I don't know but it seems to be a source of humor to my mom. She hears about me and my friends' habits and just says "God you guys are terrible!"

In short: the 25-34 year old age range is the most active on social media, and males are more so than females.
