It's a chicken-and-egg problem: I'd propose old people are not trying $hot_new_website_of_the_week because they are not in $hot_new_website_of_the_week's target market, and they are not in $hot_new_website_of_the_week's target market because they are old.

I consider myself an early technology adopter, have been all my life. But as I get older I'm less interested, not because I'm older, but because new technology companies are actively choosing to ignore my needs as a customer and my interests.
