I don't know how effective spamming messages is for connecting with people.
Most youngsters nowadays receive so many messages everywhere that they have
trained themselves to skip most stuff they receive. You can't blame them. Heck,
even Signal Messenger has a "stories" subsystem now.

Facebook is nearly a goner here. My generation used Tuenti instead, which hit
much harder because it was invite only - read: your friends were in, but not
your parents. Facebook had its day after Tuenti was bought and the new managers
crashed it, but nowadays everybody is using mobile messengers for doing what
they used to do in Facebook. Many of the remaining users have become upset by
Facebooks moderation policies, which has not improved things.
