A big reason why losses can be so bad is that approach of refusing to accept reality. It robs you of time & resources that would be better spent on a solution for what happens after.
- CharlesColeman 7y agoThere's a big difference between surrender and "accepting reality" when formulating tactics and strategy. >>> ...[it's] not enough ... to make a difference....we're losing. The web is now closed... ...is more surrender than anything. Many, many important social changes in the past century happened because some group of people refused to "accept reality" and surrender to the status quo, and instead embarked on a seemly quixotic effort against all odds to change it. They don't all succeed, but many do. Don't smother that success in the crib.

Considering most younger people don't actively use facebook anymore, their (facebooks) only chance is to buy the NewHowApp company every couple of years (khm.. instagram.. khm,... whatsapp..)
