I read "it's dying" by people on Discord and Reddit all the time, but the numbers prove otherwise. It's been going up this entire time and sitting over 3 billion MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS!
I feel like the bubble around people on other platforms saying "who uses Facebook anymore lol" is kind of wild given the numbers. Keep in mind these are active users not just abandoned accounts.
Your grandma and all your aunts and uncles and cousins are there, so there's a certain amount of checking for weddings and funerals.
The new restaurant on the corner has the menu on their Facebook page before there's a Google maps link to it.
Concert venues put their calendar, lineup, and set times on it
School districts and local communities post their snow days, park events, theater schedule, library events, stuff like that and it's easier to see that all in one place instead of going to each of their websites.
I literally only still have my FB account until I can sell all of the stuff I have listed on marketplace. Every other aspect of my FB account was deleted years ago. At first I kept the account because of the broken promise of never requiring a FB account for the Quest. They finally changed that(sort of, they require a meta account instead), but I still kept the account for marketplace. It's the only place I've been able to successfully sell anything for at least 3 or 4 years. Once I sell off the last few items I have listed there(really need the money at the moment), I can finally delete my account fully.
Normies.
Boomerbook, lmao
