The lion's share of my friends, and their friends, and their friends, are not on and posting to Facebook almost at all. For most of them it's just an app to schedule events.
A lot of the now college students a generation younger than me are using it like Twitter if at all -- self-promotion for the ones that are like event promoters or self-styled social movers, and passive consumption of that traffic.
The only reason I'm on it at all is because I moved pretty far away from home, and folks in my parents' generation and/or geography in the last year or two seriously dug into it en masse. So, I post to remind Mom I'm still alive.
Messenger is a thing, WhatsApp and Instagram are things. But the core Facebook is hollowing out with the people I interact with, and they're quite the opposite from Luddites or technophobes.
Success for that company is a assured as their ability to acquire the next big social connection app. When they stop making good bets, we'll see how they're doing I guess.
