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.

    Craigslist did it to themselves. It was the same old site and whatever annoyed you about it today was what annoyed you 8 years ago. It was full of bots and bad actors and anything beyond buying and selling items was pointless. Go apply for a job? With what a company that was so cheap they posted it for free? Dating? Here are a thousand bots, scammers, and sex workers to choose from. Local activities? Oh look the Karens are racist. Rentals? The price you pay is not the price listed.
