Facebook doesn't just play the game, they are the game.

There is no other ad delivery platform as influential to teens and young adults. Full stop.

But as soon as you kill Facebook those people will just move on to the next competitor such as Snapchat or TikTok - you haven't actually solved the underlying problem.

I don’t understand HN’s obsessive love for TikTok. It’s almost universally praised here.

Exactly , it’s extremely disingenuous to say Facebook is the game. No, they just really fucking good at the game. Removing them does not stop the game from being played.

Teens and young adults are just as likely to be on TikTok or Snapchat as IG. The hyperfocus on Facebook (the company, kids really don't use Facebook the app) seems misguided.
