Define older?

I am 33 and don’t do Instagram/Facebook/TikTok. Most of my friends my age and younger don’t bother with it.

Facebook is definitely for middle aged/over forty demographic.

Oooh that's how you do a blank post!

I have an instagram profile to follow some friends and various pages and celebrities, but I very rarely post anything.

On FB I have less than 70. My page is locked down as private and I only accept family or close friends. I'm 60 btw.

My DDs in their 20s have hundreds each on Insta, but they hardly know lots of them. I don't see the point.

How do you define older?

I am old but I have 16 k on Twitter and 1 k on Insta. I use both for work though.

I used to have loads, but deleted Facebook a few years ago and massively cut back my Instagram. Now have 175 followers. Page is private.
