That seems extremely high for quite a boring service indeed. But it's also a global service so people in different countries may have a different experience. Nowadays, Facebook provides no value to me. I don't like it. Still, I probably check it a few times a day when I'm procrastinating. I read the updates of the few acquaintances that still post on it. And I'm tricked into watching a few reels. A few groups are also interesting. Ironically, I found their ads to be quite relevant. They went from boring t-shirts and gadgets to things that I could actually be interested in.

I know it says "Facebook daily active users (DAUs)" but I'm not sure why it wouldn't include the "Family of apps", ie Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, etc

I live in the US. FB Groups have really become useful over the last 1-2 years. Very useful for connecting with local musicians, planning trips around concerts, discussing immigration related worries and making fun of soccer players. Feels like it's basically becoming an easier-to-use reddit. Also, unrelated I've started seeing erotic content on suggested reels. These low-quality videos have hundreds of comments and millions of views. All contributing to fb usage.

Facebook has been my "Oh my god, I'm an out of touch old man" warning message. I honestly don't understand Facebook and Instagram and the rest of their products. I don't use them and I don't know why I'd use them. I truly don't understand what people get out of them. Yet the numbers can't be denied. Over 2 billion active daily. As OP put it, it's totally incomprehensible! Well done.

  I thought Facebook was really good until they moved from the plain timeline to the algorithmic feed. It was a great way to keep track of friends in other countries. Now it's just a shit bucket of content I never asked for that I have to wade through trying to find some things actually posted by my friends. Insta kept the old model longer but now it's also turning into a trashcan because they're copying tiktok. If i wanted TikTok i would have downloaded that.
