Facebook especially forgot that old people who feel confused by something just ignore it…
It’s a normal part of aging, we try to hide the mental decline from ourselves, so if we’re not able to do something we enjoy, we just stop doing it without even really realizing it.
Some will conciously quit like this old lady, but loads more will just stop checking the app/website without even really noticing they stopped. When they think about using it, their subconscious will convince them not to just to avoid the frustration.
Especially for this age group who were almost 60 when they started using the Internet. They never really had a firm grasp on it, and everyday more and more won’t be able to keep up with it
That was why Faux News was so successful. It required zero effort. People would turn it on when they woke up and let it play all day.
Modern internet propaganda hinges on the target being addicted and incapable of stopping themselves for that level of coverage. But they’re gonna lose their oldest and most reliable voting demographic
