- monkmartinez 10y agoThe problem is those numbers are easily faked|manipulated. I agree with OP in the same way that I believe the story about the shoe shine boy and the stock market. It may not happen tomorrow, but facebook is not cool anymore.
- saycheese 10y agoJust to be clear, are you saying it is easy to "fake" Facebook's numbers below, and if so, how? Revenue - 7.01B (up 59% YoY) Net Income - 1.38B (up 166% YoY)
- ebbv 10y agoThey can choose to count those in various ways. See the stories about Facebook exaggerating video engagement. Additionally Facebook has gladly allowed obviously fake and spammy accounts on the site for ages. Note also that nobody is claiming Facebook is a ghost town. Clearly a lot of people still use it. But it's not remotely cool any more. Most people I know who still have accounts think of it as a burden.
- Retric 10y agoLook into pump and dump, there are a lot of ways to make a company look better in the short term at the cost of long term net profits.
- lotso 10y ago> A damning report published by The Information on Thursday revealed that Facebook has been struggling to reverse a 21% decline in “original sharing,” or personal updates, from its 1.6 billion monthly active users. http://fortune.com/2016/04/07/facebook-sharing-decline/ http://fortune.com/2016/04/07/facebook-sharing-decline/
