Comment on I've noticed my boomer parents using Instagram and tik tok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook.

  Yep, it still exists. Like a marionettes corpse waltzing around selling garage sale items and finding lost dogs.

    I think you’re confusing it with Zuckerberg. Or maybe they’re one and the same?

  Yeah, but have you seen the state of it recently? It’s a shell of its former self

    Maybe but it’s almost a $2trillion dollar company. Might be a shell, but it’s popular.

      “Addictive, coercive and profitable” ≠ Popular.

      that’s Meta, not Facebook. I’d say now FB is one of their least valuable assets.

        Maybe Zuck should add some legs to fb too

    As someone who joined Facebook way back when it was brand spanking new to the public: It’s always sucked.

      I’ll fight you over Farmville. Jk, no you’re right. FB died in the womb. The moment our parents found out about it.

    No, and I don’t intend to. Fuck that place.

  I don’t understand the “killed Facebook” thing either. I haven’t used Facebook in almost 10 years but as far as I know it’s still printing money.

    Like Facebook because the people who were into it and enjoyed using it… stopped using it 10 years ago. If I were to log into my Facebook account right now, I would see my mum posting Sovereign Citizen stuff. My aunty sharing photo after photo of my nephews and nieces. My other aunty talking about her later life crisis holidays to South Africa. And advertisement after advertisement for random junk.

    If I’m lucky, one of my friends will have posted something like “Photo from Butterfly Effect reunion last night. These guys still kick ass”

    “Facebook” is alive and well but it’s a different product than we knew and, whether intended or not, target audience is boomers and terminally online jerkoffs.

  And by most estimates it has more active users than ever.

  It’s no longer “hip” but being hip and being popular are opposing goals.
