I think most politically minded people consider FB to be an unethical company. On top of dwindling user numbers, FB might be on its way out if they truly think people will be okay with this.
- sneak 6y agoInstagram and WhatsApp are as popular as ever. Their acquisition of Oculus (and its FB account requirement) isn't hurting either. I also hear their groups/classifieds product is doing very well. Unfortunately, Facebook isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
- ravenstine 6y agoI've been wondering this for a while. So few people I know use it now in contrast to just a couple of years ago. I think part of it has to do with how they now shove a bunch of generic viral video crap into your feed now. The other day I made a post in a small group of people I know personally(~20 people), and only 2 people even saw the post even a week later. I know that sounds trivial, but it's a stark difference from the recent past where I'd expect at least half the group to see posts. On the other hand, tons of people use Instagram now, which is undoubtedly why Facebook is trying to further integrate it with Facebook. As others have mentioned, there are products of Facebook that are doing really well. I think that the use of Facebook as a generic social media feed is dwindling, but it's still good for niche groups, classifieds, and probably other things I'm not as privy to. However, I believe this is because there isn't a sufficient replacement for what Facebook provides. Are there any alternatives to Facebook that provide similar features but aren't considered distasteful by the mainstream?
