I am a few years away from 30. I have disabled FB and Instagram recently so I can free myself from some stress. I use YouTube a lot because I enjoy watching game plays (e.g. H2ODelirious, VanossGaming, etc.) YouTube is a good alternative to TV shows and Netflix.


I never much cared for any of the social media platforms because they all seem to be just gamified crap, a great example of technology making people's lives worse instead of better.

But Youtube and Twitch I like. It's kinda what cable public-access was trying to do, only way better.


I'm 37 and I don't have any social media except youtube. I use youtube instead of tv and even publish some things from time to time.

Basically my private internet usage consists of youtube, twitch (sometimes), HN and resetera (games forum).

Facebook has absolutely no appeal to me.
