BI Intelligence
There are some fissures beginning to show in Facebook's remarkably strong hold on nearly every demographic.
Teens, for instance, still use Facebook a great deal, but they no longer see it as the most prestigious or important social network: The rise in teens listing Instagram as their "most important" social network, and the decline of Facebook in this category, has been one of the most pronounced demographic trends in social media.
In late 2012, 42% of teens listed Facebook as the "most important," according to Piper Jaffray. By early 2015 only 14% did so. That's a 28-point drop.
