Seriously, who on earth uses facebook? Lol
The only website on this graphic that has some actual value (apart from the fediverse of course) is youtube.
My wife uses Facebook every day.
She’s a very family oriented person and she’s gonna be wherever they are.
She’s the kind of person who wakes up and calls her mom, then her grandma, then her sisters every single day. Hell, she even talks to her nephews every day and they’re toddlers.
There really isn’t anything that compares as far as that goes.
Didn't Facebook build infrastructure and give out free phones in India and other developing nations to get them online? I'm sure it was more to harvest their data, but I'm sure that counts pretty solidly for them
They got a service provider to let its users browse Facebook for free, but that was banned a year later for being unfair. It's still a thing in other developing counties I guess.
Me? I know it's the current hotness to not be on there, but I don't get sites like Instagram / TickTock / Snapchat where its just reacting to photos and images. I want words dammit.
I do.
Me, tbh I don't like meta but the groups in facebooks is probably what keeps me there, for example there is a group about an anime and the guys there literally translate the new volumes of the novel months faster than other piracy sites, almost in the moment, there is also the memes and other posts that only appear around those groups. Not even reddit has that content, so what keeps me attached to facebook is mainly anime groups
LinkedIn is pretty useful fwiw
3 billion of them. So, over a third of the population of earth does (at least according to this graphic).
