>HN, Facebook before the timeline, the entire pre-Facebook internet, Reddit before the IPO path. What is the counter point? None of those had more MAU than any of the big social media platforms of today. All of the big social platforms have experimented to find what kind of experience the average user actually prefers and has used that to improve their platform and continue growing. The Facebook of today is a much better platform to the average user than the Facebook pretimeline. Trying to win over people to a social media platform that takes measures to be worse and to avoid growing metrics is not a successful strategy.

>The Facebook of today is a much better platform to the average user than the Facebook pretimeline. Absolutely bullshit. FB today is terrible. It's a dopamine casino filled with engagement bait and ads that leave users wildly unsatisfied.

The Facebook of today is a much better platform to the average user than the Facebook pretimeline. I mean if we’re using that as metric I think then you’d have to admit that fentanyl producers have made a better product than Facebook. I would be surprised if the median user didn’t prefer fentanyl over Facebook, assuming they tried both.

  >have to admit that fentanyl producers have made a better product than Facebook Why? Even if you add all of the users of fentanyl producers together you won't even get to 1% the MAU of Facebook.
