Who else besides a child would choose to believe that gen x people are incapable of understanding social media?

If they were not a child, they would have suggested 'the silent generation, and baby boomers'

The majority of social media users are millennials/z/alpha, social media is manipulating more of them than any other demographic, and the majority of 'influencers' doing the manipulation are millennials/z/alpha. Often the only real difference in thought processes, selfishness, and consumerism between millennials/z/alpha and baby boomers is... age.

That is all of course only if you wish to buy into the whole 'generations' thing...
