Why is Facebook still so insanely popular?
Why is Facebook still so insanely popular?
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
I notice Reddit isn't in that list
A quick Google shows Reddit with 38 million users. That is fractions of even the LOWEST on this list.
Fuck yeah lol
Now, consider how powerful Reddit is/used to be, especially in quality human generated resources (jokes, answers, commentary etc) and realize networks exert power in different ways from just numbers. Numbers matter, but in very different ways.
Did it fall or was it always low?
Always low. Fewer people engaged in a dramatically different way.
It's already dead soon.
