Matt Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Writing's been on the wall for Facebook for some time now. The young have fully rejected it. It's basically just a place for people to post photos of their grandkids these days. No platform can survive without constantly attracting new users. Even in the Valley, FB has lost it's luster. 8 years ago, if you were an engineer at Facebook, other nerds would treat you like king shit. Now if you're an engineer at Facebook, you're nothing special. Instagram (another fb web property) seems to have really lost its mojo too. It's just not really interesting anymore. The problem with Tiktok is it's Chinese spyware and nobody seems to give a shit. I would never let anyone I care about have that shit on their phones. I also find it fascinating how China controls Tiktok in their own country. They're using it as a mind virus on the rest of the world, making people stupid. In China, after 7 PM or so, the only things you can see on Tiktok are educational type videos and stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These highly entertaining apps, starting back with video games, literally squeeze dopamine from the brain. People are so addicted to that shit that they can’t experience any joy from the simple things in life. It’s only going to get worse with virtual reality. I stay as far away as possible from the stuff. I won’t even touch a video game. Facebook can die a slow death as far as I’m concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple's privacy software is costing FB ad revenue, but their problems go farther than just ad revenue. For the first time in company history, they have lost more users than they've added.

Cost Facebook 10 billion a year. Oh well. Also won't touch Tik Tok, its mind rot. And worse, its from the Chinese who are using yet another tool to exploit us. Fuck all of them. Not happy with the overall blood bath happening right now in the tech sector, but some sanity is returning to the pricing on many of these stocks. Trump was right about China, and I bet he's enjoying the karma with Facebooks problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Can’t blame FB’s inevitable demise on just one thing. I don’t really care if it collapses or not. It’s just not fun anymore. I refuse to do tik tok as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
