I believe it’s actually whatsapp

Facebook, at least, is dying with all the boomers.

Meta is just a digital drug dealer.
Sure the ~~cocaine~~ Facebook profits are down, but at least they can rely on the addictive power of ~~crack cocaine~~ Instagram.

Amazing how some people want Meta dead but also want to clutch their pearls over the layoffs that come with it.

Nah, a 0.02 billion user decrease is not enough to state that Meta is dying.
It is definitely stagnating and has lost a lot of money, but it has so much prevalence that it will not happen anytime soon.

Lol WhatsApp and instagram each have over 3 billion active users. It’s not dying.

Still billions of active users…wishfull thinking.

This same headline/article gets posted every fucking month. Meta is not dying, billions of people around the world continue to use their platforms.

As long as Facebook marketplace survives in some way, shape, or form, I’m good with it.
I do not want to go back to the craigslist days.

In a quite surprising twist, once you enshittify a product into the ground, people stop using it. I would like to use Facebook, my parents are there, some of my old friends are there, but my feed is full of ads, cross-posts from people and brands I don’t care about, absolute bullshit content. I can scroll for days before I find an actually useful post from people I care about. Fuck that.

You really think this $1.5T company is dying? Facebook is, but they own so much more.

It doesn’t matter if it’s “dying” or not. Meta is one of the new zombie corporations – funded by advertising (to bots, by bots, for bots) and by selling data (to bots, for bots).
The “circular economy” is just big companies funding big companies in an economic circlejerk.
Meta may be soulless, brainless, pointless, but it’ll take a lot for it to actually be clinically dead.

Doubtful, it’s highly unlikely any of FAANG will ever fail they have so much money, opportunity to acquire anything that jeopardizes their own popularity, and ability to tax everything everywhere all at once. Meta will acquire whatever the kids find cool. They’ll do that until there’s nothing left to acquire, then they’ll merge with other FAANG companies until there’s only one or two left.
Literally the only challenge these companies face is being shut out of China and the EU trying to regulate them to open up competition. They’ve conquered America, the population, the government, the courts.

They could wind the clock back 16 years to what Facebook and Instagram were when they were gaining popularity like crazy. And not the dystopian nightmare they’ve become.

Looks like they might be getting confused between Meta and Facebook.

After the succession of lawsuits lined up for children damages Meta will be in trouble… Not to mention all the lawsuits from Content Creators that he dismissed as he had (his) AI plagiarize and learn from 1,000 of copyrighted material… this bozo is finally gonna get his FAFO, he is a pathetic human anyways

People have been writing a articles about the imminent death of Facebook for 15 years… Seriously… Google it.

No offense but their revenue is up 33% compared to the same quarter last year and year over year it’s well over 20% consistently the past few years. Unfortunately they’re not going anywhere.

In another sense.. as a social-media manager… what now?

Its not though. The lost Users were russian and arabs, that got cut off by the government (in case of russia) or by the Iran war.
This is just clickbait, nothing more, nothing less.

„Many teenagers wouldn’t be caught dead with an AOL account, a Yahoo email address — or a Facebook profile“
I’m a close-to-retirement boomer and I wouldn’t be caught dead with an AOL account, a Yahoo email address or a Facebook profile.

It’s a shame, I prefer social media closer to MySpace or Facebook than Twitter and its clones. Better a page you post to, controls on audience per post, multiple albums, as opposed to the public firehose where every truncated post and reply is an open target for every johnny come lately argument or QRT war. Shame Facebook was a Zuckerberg brainchild and quickly became the right-wing manipulation platform that Musk tried to ape when he bought himself a Twitter.
Maybe someday we’ll get a true MySpace successor.

I use Facebook for a few hobbies that only post there. Without the facebook purity add in, it’s completely unusable. The algorithm is trash, gamed by third world and bot accounts. The ads are ridiculously mistargeted. It’s like the worst of the internet 10 years ago.
