    They dropped the ball by not mentioning Facebook/Instagram, which started out as a place to catch up with people one knew and then bait-and-switched to a slot machine that will show you some random updates from some of them in between all the ads and inspirational AI pink-slime, and maybe let some of them see what you post if you work hard enough at grustling up your clout and feeding the zuckerbots with plenty of juicy psychometric data.

      Lol do people even still use Facebook tho? Instagram i could see but almost 50% of all fb posts are AI bots. The other 50% i assume only goes on if they get a divorce amd need take it fb official. Plus, the AI isn’t what killed FB either. People have been leaving in mass for almost a decade now. It was the whole stealing the data of children that turned most people off to it. Idk thats just my take and you should take it with a grain of salt as I haven’t had fb in over 10 years now lol.

          That doesn’t prove shit lol. You could have 5 million active users and that’s still only 1.6% of the US 50 million being 16%. I wouldn’t say that is a ton of people using it. Especially with reports showing 50% of all posts are done by bots. Seriously that’s such a useless metric “millions” hahah OK so 2 million or 999,999,999 people use it🤣

            You asked if people still used Facebook. The answer is yes. Do you really think that it has a human user base of zero?
