It is surprising that most folks reading HN are in some kind of bubble. I see people here commenting how they have never used facebook since last X years and they are fearful about facebook and privacy.
Are you kidding me? FB has 2.2Billion Monthly active users.
- wepple 9y agoReally, it surprises you? A website tailored to typically well-educated people with a strong interest in science and technology who all speak or can communicate in English and put some kind of value in online discussion. That’s already 0.00001% of the population, of course we’re a bubble. The question is: is HN ahead of the curve with distaste toward FB, or an anomaly? There’s another thread on this post discussing just that.
- rajeshpant 9y agoNot necessarily ahead of curve, most normal people don't care about the feed algorithm. They are happy to see what their friends and family are doing.

- rajeshpant 9y agoI agree. but the deviation is not that huge.
