I like it as a human quarantine zone. Don't take it away from me. I like to know those people are contained somewhere clicking the same goat with scream mask meme across multi-lane parallel universes.

I was thinking something in the same theme as that, faceburg keeps a bunch of retards in one place, if it were to fall the retards would scatter and infest other sites.

It's a website of idiots being kept afloat at everyone else's expense. Once enough sensible people have left the turd-based platform, it will self-destruct gloriously, because that's what idiots do best.

After visiting family over the holidays, I gotta disagree with you. After we had dinner, for up to three hours, my mother and her friends would just slide their finger up, up, up. Those stupid videos about food that are sped up (you know the ones I'm talking about; they've got simple captions like, "Flour," "Salt," "Butter," without amounts), obvious advertisements, inane comments that are recycled. I think I saw one or two actual comments or posts from their 'friends' for 3 or 4 advertisements or posts from companies.

And that's all they did, endlessly. Every night. For these grognards, way of life may not be an accurate description, sure, but it's pretty close.

Facebook hits wall as usage falls, and analysts are watching closely - Business Insider

'Instagram is a glimmer of hope, but only makes up a modest 1/10th of the overall consumption of Facebook and its properties. '

'While both Facebook and Google will continue to grow their share of digital advertising, their growth is poised to occur with substantially lower margins, said Wieser. '

'Google is on the upswing, with its text-focused properties including the home page, search, and Gmail growing by 50% year-over-year. ', "The tech giant's audience reach went down in recent months, according to a new report published by Brian Wieser, a senior analyst at Pivotal Research.", "Facebook's decline in usage may seem small, but it is in stark contrast to its biggest competition."

game over fuckerberg.... I was wondering someone who knows internet history, gaff, livejournal, 9gag, Myspace, I was never into social networking so I have no clue as to what caused the mass exodus to Facebook? Someone got on the inside of myspace and cluttered it? glitter animated icons and bullshit auto-play music videos? Did myspace get sabotaged, filled with gifs and virus, pops ups, worms... made die on the inside as a conspiracy and Facebook thrive? Facebook also made people use real id, real drivers id, real names, real passport, it made people add their kids and brothers and for the Mi6, KGB, CIA acceptable to spy on your Mother or grandma? for people to share flowery spiritualistic cult memes and vote Hillary posters and anti-Trump zombie posts?

Internet usage is still growing. As more people come online, new kinds of services will become viable and will be necessary to accommodate them.

Myspace had 75.9 million active users. Facebook has 2.07 billion. Facebook was designed at a different moment in history, for a different internet than myspace was. Myspace was always a niche website we just didn't know it back then.

business insider is superbly bad, yet manages to stay entertaining in a way buzzfeed et al cannot. i think this is because the people making business insider are NOT stupid, they just cater to and exploit stupidity. buzzfeed and such actually ARE stupid, so they don't get it.

that said, facebook became a liability years ago and people stopped sharing their life openly in most cases. it's basically a passive way to keep track of people you know/dislike/compare yourself with and not having to interact with them much. i'd guess that 60% of people have not deleted their FB account keep it in case someone distant needs to reach them or vice versa.

If you do continue to use Facebook, be very careful what you discuss there. Seriously though, they're selling off personal information left right and center. They have no legal obligation not to. If you have it on your phone they can access your microphone. It's bizarre 1984 shit, I'm probably (hopefully) preaching to the choir right now though but it needs saying.

I found that out when I made an original post about pizzagate and it was deleted without any notification. It stayed up for a couple days during the height of pizzagate interest and then evidently an automated system swept through and removed them.

I made some more posts in response, and I confirmed with my friend that she could see them on her feed. I've never personally witnessed shadow-deletion or suppression of FB posts, only flat-out deletion.

Zuckerberg is a motherfucking douchebag who has gotten a little too easy on the ban button and it's killing the site. You can't punish people for having arguments and disagreements on a site. Twitter has been kind of bad like this, but they do not target accounts and make it impossible to use the site. Problem is, once you target someone's account and disable it, severing their connections with friends, it's over. He's not running it like a business anymore. It's sad.

Facebook's primary purpose is to get information on you to sell advertising space. But it almost seems there's a secondary, more nefarious entity in the background bankrolling the whole operation so they can control the masses. But that's crazy talk, and I'll just wrap myself up in chains and concrete shoes and shoot myself 28 times in the back of the head with a rifle before jumping into the ocean.

The new generation hasn't really adopted it the way people ten years ago did, because who wants to use a social media platform where your parents and grandparents see everything you post?

It's now just a way for people to stay in touch after they move or leave school/college.

We've come full circle because GenZ went back to using chat apps because they're faster, private, and less bullshit.

Telegram and BBM are the best and not owned by Facebook, Google, Apple, or Microsoft.

Much of the world equates the term internet with Facebook. In developing economies Facebook has a better customer. One which can act on Facebook usage information much more directly. This is how these websites are still around and why MSM won't let them die (switch to the next best thing).

I've NEVER had a fagbook account. When they opened it up to the public at large in I think 2006 everyone I knew was jumping on the wagon. I took one look at it and said..fuck no! Why in the tits would anyone want to post every facet of there life on this thing for others to see? People were telling me I NEED this and it's great! NOPE!! Now I see it's declining a lot, but the new shinny object is instafag which looks a lot worse.

Facebook is a professional liability. To be fair, all social media is a liability, but Facebook is very good at ferreting out and making connections that you may not have been aware of.

I'd simply rather not use it than accidentally post something that seems innocent enough, but connects me to things that may be viewed poorly when taken in the small view context offered by Facebook. It's simply good business to avoid things that will eventually give you bad PR.

It's part of the natural cycle, especially in boom/high investment properties. Eventually the product loses novelty, execs turn to profit extraction which kills the product attractiveness to customers (i.e. the more invasive ads you can't get rid of), and people find fresher venues to spend their time with. The scandal where Facebook was charging for clicks from fake accounts was actually huge and I doubt they're getting the same revenue from companies either.

Facebook is just the upgraded version of MySpace which had its time then died. The business people just happened to be more competent and made a better product, but all tech products become obsolete at some point.

That look is in for tech companies. I don't think it was started by the Jewface, but he definitely popularized it. Well muscled, conventionally attractive people can pull it off. The comedic property is that he doesn't look good in it, being a weedy jew with a really stupid face.

He's a kid that never had to grow up. Why look professional? He'll be wearing these same nasty shirts (assuming Fecesbook is still around) in 20 years, looking like the sad old man he is. Rich, yes, but just some old dude trying to stay relevant.
