Meta, formerly Facebook, is heavily focusing on targeting older users with more ads due to their higher purchasing power, as revealed by Barclays analysts.
The ad load on Facebook is higher for users over 45, leading to increased ad revenue for Meta.
Meta's dynamic ad technology allows them to target valuable users based on behaviors and traits, with older users being key drivers of its ad business.
Although Meta aims to win over Gen Z, the company is strategically catering to older demographics who are more likely to make purchases or sign up for services, reflecting a shift in their advertising strategy.
