It's definitely not just my world view. According to some studies, 62% of Americans are said to use FB as their primary news source (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/62-people-now-use-facebook-primary-news-source-why-we-conner-galway https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/62-people-now-use-facebook-pr...)
So it's not unreasonable to say you're inside a really special bubble, if you've never heard anyone using Facebook as a news source.
- herbst 10y agoAs mention, but i am glad to do it again. I AM NOT AMERICAN Edit:// To further clearify: Nether are any of my facebook friends, nether have i ever been there or plan to. I have no relation with the U.S. i was just making the point that Facebook might simply is not the right place to find information.
- renaudg 10y agoI'm not American either. I'm French, living in the UK, and the figures are probably not very different here.
- herbst 10y agoHonestly, i can imagine the UK beeing not much different. Around here Facebook lost its appeal some time ago and mutated to a semi relevant social network. People (especially teens) use a lot Whatsapp & Snapchat now. We mostly stopped having requests for facebook marketing campaigns as well since a few years. And businesses slowly stopped to maintain their Facebook sites. Please dont project your english environment into my german bubble. Thanks
