A lot is age, though an underappreciated element I've noticed is economic climate.

Boomers, relative to other generations, had everything on a platter. GenX started relatively strong, but with some stumbles. Early millennials walked straight into the dot-com crash, then early 2000s boom.

Late millennials came into a complete shitshow, SV and finance being about the only real exceptions.

Having watched a bunch of early bloggers get really quiet, the FB generation oversharing strikes me as probably time-limited. About when the first wave of divorces starts, I figure.
