"I've been thinking this for years, ... The people on there the most are broke college kids and younger."

Years are funny that way: things tend to change as they pass.

Facebook has 400 million active users, where "active" means the account has been used in the last 30 days. 200 million of them have logged in in the last 24 hours.

To put those numbers in perspective, the Internet itself has about 1.67 billion users. Even assuming, for the sake of argument, that many of those daily active users are duplicate or fake, for facebook's demographics to suck, the Internet's demographics must suck.
