What's to say "technology analysts" haven't figured that out? All we're seeing here is that _a thing happened_ and somebody is reporting on said happening.

  It's certainly possible that reporters know this and are leaving it out of reporting intentionally, because it would make the story less juicy. In which case they are intentionally making a story that lacks context in order to drive clicks and should be called out as such. Or they don't know it and are lacking in contextualuzation. Either way it's bad journalism.

    Is it? This is about Facebook the product. Suggesting that this is planned by Facebook is not based in fact or supported by sources. As best I can tell this is not a news organization, they're simply showing an interesting data point

    > Either way it's bad journalism. You have to realize that most tech "journalists" are in their 20s and haven't been though a single market cycle yet. For as long as they can remember, Facebook was a thing they used on their iPhone and it was the top social network and Apple was the top phone maker.

    Not to mention this 'study' was based on a survey of 2,000 people.
