Do you find there are a lot of people in your circle that post those?

My friends (I'm 54) are probably older and more boring than yours, but like if I open Facebook right now there will be grandbaby pictures, look what I did in my shed this weekend, and politics. That's pretty much the formula year round for my timeline.

I strongly suspect that's a trend with younger people. I don't see my friends and coworkers experiencing the same type of satisfaction when posting something that I see younger users having.

Hell, I'm glad I'm not the type of old person that doesn't know how to use Facebook. Just that is really enough satisfaction for me.

I'm 27 and my closest friends don't bother. For a while I thought I was missing something, but every time I try to participate in Instagram, I only feel like it reduces my enjoyment of a thing, because I gotta spend a couple seconds fucking with my phone to get a picture.

It is great to take a couple story videos here and there though. I like looking at those months after.

Tbh I think Instagram makes people more active and healthier.

I'm pretty sure half my friends wouldn't do the things they do if they couldn't instagram it afterwards. Like going for a hike just to have your instagram content for the day.

Hey whatever works. Pokemon go was great for that as well.

I wish Pokemon Go had been the game we've all actually been waiting on. With familiar Pokemon PVP and real-world Pokemon scavenging. The gym concept they have is just not that much fun. But I guess the advantage to Pokemon go is being accessible to younger audiences who weren't alive when red and blue came out (I think I was nearly 30 then!) and also that the lack of more concrete game mechanics lends the game a more expressive nature. I've seen people that just play to collect their favorite one, and that's kind of magical to me.
