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.

    Accounts sitting untouched due to lockouts wouldn’t be counted as active. Also Facebook added the ability to create alternate profiles tied to your main account so multiple accounts haven’t been necessary for some time.

      Yeah, tell that to my Aunt Martha and her new account each week. Also, I think you might be overestimating the capabilities of the left side of the intelligence bell curve.
