If Gen Z joins other Facebook-owned social networks in stead it won't hurt them in the least. Facebook might not be hype anymore but Instagram and WhatsApp seem to do just fine with the young ones, at least as far as I can tell as someone in his 30s.
- svantana 9y agoWell arguably facebook the product has been the problem, not facebook the coorporation. Those other products you mention don't have the same "put all information about yourself on here" design, and nowhere near the amount of news/politics on them.
- BaconJuice 9y agoThe other products Facebook own literally are "put all information about yourself on here" applications? I notice that if I talk about something on whatsapp I see some sort of ad on instagram around it etc.
- simias 9y agoSupposing that the focus switches from Facebook to these other platforms how long until you see exactly the same patterns in these applications? We're talking about Facebook's core monetization strategy here, if they feel it's threatened I'm sure they'll do everything they can to "correct" that.
