Ask any young person: facebook is for old people.

They were on top of the world... only to be cast aside for the next best thing. Which, was instagram - so FB bought it.

After that? Who knows, but what I do know, is FB will try and buy that too. They're ALREADY obsolete.

What you said is also similar to paypal buying ebay, or the consolidation of video game companies in to these giant monopolies.

It's all a game of old giants snapping up young companies to stay relevant. We even see this pattern in the government, especially in multi-party systems where there is more actual competition.

I hope we eventually get to celebrate the youth for being better (1/20 chance), but for now Nah, something like a magnora7-podcast subliminal brainwave message can save the coming ruling class from ignorance, but on their own, my (maybe even yours, i dunno your age-range) generation is doomed.
