This what we're calling gen alpha then?

Apple is gonna love that free advertising

Is it really any worse than Gen X's symbol of youthful rebellion being a cable TV channel owned and operated by Viacom so they can advertise music that's been packaged up by the big three labels?

Oh well, whatever, nevermind

"Butters? Are you on Twitter?"

"No Dad! Just watching porn!"

..It's actually a much better alternative, I can't even lie.

I mean it's run by the biggest kid, so I guess it's understandable that they at least want to check out what their like-minded fellow is doing over there.

I hope they turn away in disgust.

Terminally online toddlers

I found it interesting to see where Roblox falls off the chart.

Parents, all you have to do is talk near them about how cool X is to you, while suppressing your gag reflex long enough for them to cringe.

I’m surprised that Facebook consistently ranks higher than Snapchat on these charts. I thought younger generations considered Facebook to be for “old people” for just about 7 years now.

It highly depends on country, region, socioeconomic factors etc.

Facebook in Brazil survives through groups, I don't think people actually engage with the feed, most use it as forum each one inside their own groups.

It's an anti-social network, makes sense with the trend of gen alpha sharing less and less, they will stumble through a lot of porn though...

So what. Everyone was on twitter in middle school for me back when it first became a thing. It's not new news.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

Twitter now is what 4chan was then in many ways. This should be disconcerting in the least.

Do COPPA fines apply here?

As unenforcable as they've always been, and honestly I prefer it that way. Really don't want to give my ID to random websites.
