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.
Hobby groups. Marketplace. Business page for companies. Everything except its original purpose of keeping up with the lives of your real life friends.
It's dying in the sense that no Millenials really uses Facebook the same way we did as when it first started, and most Gen Z would treat having a Facebook page to be a completely alien concept.
People moved on.
This is it. FB killed most smaller forums, anyone can make a "group" for any hobby and people can join with an existing account.
Some bigger forums still thrive, but very few new forums get any traction.
Has a serious advantage over meetup. I started a group on there. Had a lot of fun and then I am looking at a $200 yearly bill.
Good. That was always my least favorite part of social media
This. It will vary by region but in my area I suspect that 99% of users use marketplace + messenger and that's it.
