Yep, I kind of forgot the exact word for it, I used "older demographic" because im my local FB community, quite a number of toxics (and teaching people to be toxic) are more often than not, poor role models. I also forgot that outside of my country, there are early internet nerdys that lived throughout basically the age of Internet. So my choice of words are quite incorrrect, but yep they are precisely what you said, low-literacy.
And yes, FB, Twitter and Reddit will most likely thrive and live, by catering to those people instead of the nerdy, hobbyist group of people that once graced Reddit.
I can't help but shudder at the thought that Reddit will be yet another Twitter or Facebook.
