Honestly surprised people still use Facebook besides old people. Most people I talk to around my age or younger say they don't have it at all, only use it to keep in touch with certain people, or use it for business related reasons. My nieces and nephews straight up think it's just a site for old people. If Meta didn't have other sites like Instagram they probably wouldn't nearly be as big as they are.
The generation that warned their children about brain rot have succumbed to that brain rot.
With gusto.
Facebook is for old people and idiots in general. Sadly some people have no other means to stay in touch so they have to use FB. It would be fair for them to believe that are actually in hell
Insta is ubiquitous and it’s run by the same amoral assholes. 😞
