I've noticed lots of my Facebook friends (mostly former classmates or co-workers) have either stopped posting or deleted their accounts entirely. At first I thought "hmm I haven't seen a post from this person in a while, let me search" and then I didn't see them in my friends list. But then I didn't find them in search either. For people I'm friends with in real life I texted them and a lot said they just deleted their account because of spam, privacy, or just not using it anymore. For old coworkers I reached out on LinkedIn and heard similar stories.
It still making billions....
To be fair, AOL and Yahoo were also making billions until recently
User base increased this quarter and is up YoY... Daily active and monthly active also up
I wonder how relevant daily and monthly active users is as a metric...5 years ago I was posting multiple times a day...now I just log in and maybe like a few posts. I would be a daily active user in both cases, but not really the same level of engagement.
You still scroll a bit? At least past an ad or two? Thanks for the cash :)
I still use it for the groups, marketplace, pages and reviews but the core posts between friends thing seems to be dying
Yeah I am in a few groups but it is so targeted there that I can just pop in and see the latest posts and leave, versus scrolling for hours (like I guess people do on TikTok now). I miss connecting with old classmates and sharing pics of our kids and vacation photos
Privacy reason is bogus if you are using insta instead. Same parent. Spam maybe to some extent. No one from my generation is on fb anymore. Plus my 70+ year grandparents use it to chat with their friends and post content not suited for me. Yea I am out!
Nah, they all just blocked you.
The Facebook friend pip 🤣
Young people are using other stuff and older users started families and have better stuff to do than stalk exes, read their uncle's latest conspiracy theories, and see what that one friend that likes to share everything is up to.
FB is for boomers. I’d close my account altogether if I didn’t have an Oculus
