While I totally agree with this, I'm wondering where that tipping point would be with them.
They have (depending on who you believe) somewhere north of 200 million users with some estimates in the 500 million range. Does losing 100 million users impact them at all or their bottom line?
At what point do you think they would actually start changing? How much revenue would they have to lose before they started to make noticeable reforms?
- v_lisivka 9y agoI already see that users are moving out of FaceBook. FakeBook is not delivering value it promised. Some my friends are banned by FB, some are just not using it anymore. I personally was hit by FB moderators because of comment with few first lines from well known poem («Katerina» by Shevchenko, circa 1838). Moderators deny that first, then stop responding, so they know that they are doing wrong and still doing that. Moreover, I noticed that my comments with links to laws and court decisions on government sites were silently marked as spam and hidden by FB. Moderators are helped me once to fix that, then it happens again and again, and FB refuses to fix that. I made backup accounts on G+ and local social networks just in case I will be banned again by FB for posting well known poems or links to laws. I see also that traffic is increased a bit on these sites. I also looking for way to setup my own node of a federated social network, such as Mastodon or PeerTube, but they are too heavyweight.
