In the latest results yesterday, Facebook Daily and Monthly active users grew 5% YoY. I thought everyone here believed that Facebook app is dead. But it’s growing in popularity even in US. Now that Trump is back, it will probably continue to grow.
You work for Meta. If you don’t know, why would the rest of us know.
I have been on Facebook for the past 14 years. My engagement has drastically dropped from 100% utilization to less than 10%. The same is true for hundreds of my friends. No one posts, and no one adds photos or changes pictures. I believe this is the case for the majority of people. If the number of users is growing, it's definitely bots. But overall usage must be dropping drastically.
Old people love Facebook.
Back in the college days it was super fun and interesting. Now everything is behind walls of privacy and no one posts on walls anymore. Sure sucks now
bots
What the advantage of having bots in fb?
Gullible boomers who vote
My theory- Because people get locked out of their accounts and Meta makes it impossible to recover it - so you have to create a new account most of the time. I was locked out of my account nearly two years with no ability to get back in and no response from Meta support. Sketchy!
That doesn’t impact DAU numbers whatsoever
Bots gearing up for 2024. They need a little bit of history ahead of the cycle to look legit.
^^^this! Soon you'll see even more russian propaganda
These are dumb theories ads revenue is also growing
You understand how ad revenue is generated?
Believe it or not the average person doesn't care about politicians
Spam bots. Simple.
Banana level intelligence on display. How do spam bots grow ad revenue?
They don't explicitly. But spam bot metrics indicate to ad buyers that's where the audience is. So they continue to buy placement. It's like the user growth Twitter demonstrated pre Elon destruction.
