I'm still a Facebook user (over 30, with kids, friends all over the world, and lots of groups that I care about), but the Reels thing is making me seriously consider leaving for good. It's awful, cringeworthy intrusive clickbaity videos from random kids I've never heard of every few posts on my feed. I clicked the X to make it go away but surprise, it's back. At this point their demographic is not the TikTok demographic, and they're just going to drive their remaining users away trying to force that.
- PKop 5y ago>their demographic is not the TikTok demographic In other words, not the youth, which is an existential problem for a growth oriented social media company no?
- sbrother 5y agoYep, hence the loss of 25% of their market cap today haha.
- snek_case 5y agoI feel like they might have had better luck starting a new Reels app, just like messenger is available as a standalone app. They're cramming too much functionality into a single app/webpage and trying to force people to use things they're not interested in. Why not just make a tiktok clone and keep it separate?
