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.
I’m not sure how many people use it for just that but I would imagine it’s quite a lot, probably not enough to knock it out of first though. But then we should also take into consideration that you have to have a Facebook account if you have a business or a side hustle, messaging, clubs, dating, city notice boards, party invites, the list is endless. Then once you’re on there for just that one thing you have to have an account for, well you might as well post something or scroll…
I deleted my Facebook account probably 5 years ago or so. Recently moved and had a ton of stuff that I just couldn’t sell. I had to open my account back up just to sell the shit. I miss Craigslist
