Facebook still has 3B happy users.

It's only privileged, highly-paid coastal elites that hate FB.

Zuck, can literally say GFY as they don't matter in the broad scheme of things and innovations.

My non-computer-nerd midwestern friends, some of whom are blue collar and zero of whom are anywhere near making coastal FAANG or finance money, all hate Facebook.

Yes, but are they on Instagram though?

Oh, yes, because that’s how network effects work. Every single one would be happy if Meta and all its properties folded tomorrow, though.

Why is this an argument? First of all x many people using something doesn't necessarily mean something is good (network effects if not fake accounts) but also buying up competition is somehow seen as a positive?

Ummm sure buddy. Let's bring anecdotes vs real world data

Where’s the data?
