Facebook Wants Young Adults Back: Here's How They're Trying (and Why It Matters)

Facebook is on a mission to win back young adults. They've seen success with over 40 million daily users aged 18-29 in the US and Canada, but that number still lags behind other social media platforms.

Key takeaways

  • Focus on making money: Facebook is giving creators tools to monetize their content, appealing to young adults' hustle.

  • More than just social: They're highlighting features like Facebook Marketplace and Dating to be a one-stop shop for young adults navigating life transitions.

  • The competition is fierce: Though Facebook boasts growth, it still falls behind trendier apps like Snapchat and TikTok for Gen Z and Millennials.

Why this matters: Facebook is a familiar platform, but it's facing stiff competition for your attention. This push to be a hub for creators, dating, and finding deals could make it a more valuable tool again, especially for those comfortable with the platform already.


Brace Yourselves: Instagram Testing Pop-Up Ads in Stories

Get ready to rage-quit Instagram: the platform is testing out invasive pop-up ads that appear in the middle of your friends' stories.

Here's the deal:

  • Pop-up party: Ads for a VR game called "Super Rumble" interrupt stories, jarring the user experience.

  • Unskippable frustration: These ads can't be swiped away until a timer counts down, just like those pesky mobile game ads.

  • Is it a glitch? Nope. Meta is testing whether it can serve us more ads.

Why this matters:

  • Goodbye, peaceful scrolling: Potentially say goodbye to catching up with friends' stories uninterrupted.

  • Is this the future? This test might be a sign of even more intrusive ads coming to Instagram.

  • Remember why we left Facebook? This feels a lot like Facebook's ad overload, and it could hurt Instagram’s user experience.
