I read "it's dying" by people on Discord and Reddit all the time, but the numbers prove otherwise. It's been going up this entire time and sitting over 3 billion MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS!
I feel like the bubble around people on other platforms saying "who uses Facebook anymore lol" is kind of wild given the numbers. Keep in mind these are active users not just abandoned accounts.
Bots?
It has to be a lot of that. probably a lot of accounts that people use for stalking. also, i know quite a few old people that have at least 5-10 accounts due to the amount of times that they have forgotten their password/been hacked.
I know I’m only one person, but I personally know many people around the world that never use it. There’s no way that 40% of the world has an account on Facebook, let alone logs in every month. I deleted my own account last month.
Accounts sitting untouched due to lockouts wouldn't be counted as active. Also Facebook added the ability to create alternate profiles tied to your main account so multiple accounts haven't been necessary for some time.
Yeah, tell that to my Aunt Martha and her new account each week. Also, I think you might be overestimating the capabilities of the left side of the intelligence bell curve.
Your aunt isn't making a new account every week. Also locked out accounts aren't active so that's irrelevant.
Ok, thanks Zuck
Goes against my narrative? Must be astroturfing! Give it a rest, mate.
Lol
This. Bigger number means more investor interest. What's the motivation to count active users accurately?
