That's really interesting to me. I grew up with MySpace. Facebook wasn't a thing until high school. I used them similarly, but for different reasons: I spoke to new people on MySpace and people that I already knew on Facebook. I made many dear friends on MySpace and still talk to many of them frequently.

I think that more traditional "profile-based" social media is well-suited to meeting new people. I have no interest in reading another person's "feed" of shared content and ramblings, but I am more inclined to perhaps read a short "About Me" if that makes sense.
