Maybe enough of my friends have already left, but facebook has seemed like an empty husk for at least the last year, and the ratio of ads (which ublock origin doesn't seem to filter) to content seems higher there than any other website I frequent by at least a factor of 3 or 4. It's so unpleasant to read anything on there that I usually just check notifications and bail as quickly as possible. Also, the ads they show are terrible.
The last useful thing I can recall seeing was a day-after-thanksgiving virtual friends meetup invitation. Events are the only reason I haven't bailed completely, and it seems the reason that this feature remains sticky is that lots of people don't want to bother to maintain email address books anymore.
- bigbubba 6y agoThis is doubtlessly why Facebook likes to buy their potential competitors. Any particular social media platform might be a transient fad, but the company itself can remain relevant by buying all the new fads.
- FabHK 6y agoI've recently looked at Instagram, and the ratio of ads is shockingly high. WhatsApp is still ad free, let's hope it stays that way (and if not, that people migrate away).
- yakireev 6y agoHonestly, I'd prefer if Whatsapp had some monetization. Because the current way of them making money is "belong to Facebook, give them all the data", and I don't like it.
