Wow. They really knocked it out of the park. 829 million DAU - I almost feel shitty for having deactivated my account.

    The part "I almost feel shitty for having deactivated my account." probably came off as irrelevant and poorly worded to some users. I'm actually not sure how to connect personal emotion and not being part of a popular option.

      I was joking and not trying to be obnoxious, but I suppose it came off that way. I was more commenting on the impressive gravitational pull of something that has a good chunk of the world's population using it. To a very non-trivial percentage of the globe Facebook is a vital utility and communications tool. That's impressive, considering the turn-over rate of other popular social networks that are or nearly are defunct. The fact that their revenue is growing, and not shrinking, is astonishing given that a couple years ago people were counting down the days until Facebook dropped off the leaderboard.
