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.
IMHO popular culture is not popular because it’s the best, it’s because of some combination of corruption and being the “lowest common denominator”. Popular culture is cultural detritus and Facebook is a prime representation of it.
