Source: Facebook wants to re-focus on younger users – Social Panic

Facebook sees TikTok-like platforms as having a better strategy.

The basic design of TikTok – with short form videos seen via rapid scrolling through video thumbnails (which auto play as you encounter them) – favors attractive, fit, young people versus, say, content that requires a few seconds to think about. TikTok is about eye candy.

With that in mind, a news report says Facebook is planning to “Ditch older users and refocus the company on serving Generation-Z”.
