Parlor or Gab might have had something to do with it as well. Can this capitalist compete?

Facebook lost 20%.

Billions in losses.

Will it survive? Of course.

Did American Patriots send a message? You betcha! God Bless America!

See what happens when a company ties itself into being political, just like Penzeys (https://www.city-data.com/forum/poli...elp-after.html )

Like anything — people get tired of it. Facebook hit peak saturation and now people are tired of the drama and how depressed it can make them. People are tired of having algorithms feeding them what it thinks they want to see.

It appears to me that Tiktok is integrated into Facebook…I guess people are losing their minds and becoming zombies that watch Tictok for hours upon hours….thus, not using Facebook.

TikTok is interesting, I love watching the videos, hours for me no, usually some in morning when waiting on kids bus, some during day when I am bored never more than an hour or so. It's easy to pass the time etc.

I was a late joiner to Facebook, late 2015, even then just a passing look. In the last month I have decided to cut back. I am Facebook to connect with friends, not be flooded with 75% ads. I own a manufactured double wide fixer that I just paid off. Right now their algorithm is giving me trashed mobil homes in South Carolina $7000 that have to be moved every 4th post, its just insulting.
