    They dropped the ball by not mentioning Facebook/Instagram, which started out as a place to catch up with people one knew and then bait-and-switched to a slot machine that will show you some random updates from some of them in between all the ads and inspirational AI pink-slime, and maybe let some of them see what you post if you work hard enough at grustling up your clout and feeding the zuckerbots with plenty of juicy psychometric data.

      Facebook started out as Zuckerberg and his twin buddies creeping on Harvard women. Then it deshittified. Then it enshittified again.

      Lol do people even still use Facebook tho? Instagram i could see but almost 50% of all fb posts are AI bots. The other 50% i assume only goes on if they get a divorce amd need take it fb official. Plus, the AI isn’t what killed FB either. People have been leaving in mass for almost a decade now. It was the whole stealing the data of children that turned most people off to it. Idk thats just my take and you should take it with a grain of salt as I haven’t had fb in over 10 years now lol.

        Every text my wife receives from her sister sounds and looks like an instagram post. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone that uses it is just posting out of habit and the zuckerbots respond with reactions and comments.

        I haven’t made a post on any of that slop in yeah, probably 10 years but every time I’ve had the misfortune of being forced to use it for any reason it definitely doesn’t feel like a place I’d ever want to put any information on.

          That doesn’t prove shit lol. You could have 5 million active users and that’s still only 1.6% of the US 50 million being 16%. I wouldn’t say that is a ton of people using it. Especially with reports showing 50% of all posts are done by bots. Seriously that’s such a useless metric “millions” hahah OK so 2 million or 999,999,999 people use it🤣

            You asked if people still used Facebook. The answer is yes. Do you really think that it has a human user base of zero?

                Your literal words:

                Lol do people even still use Facebook tho?

                I answered your question and you decide to insult me over it. What the fuck? Why did you even ask? Because you wanted to get into a fight?

                  Sorry should of labeled it rhetorical for the dim witted to understand lol. You honestly thought that was a literal question? You should look into vasectomy or tube’s tied so you dont procreate your family tree into a group home.

                    So the answer is yes, you just wanted to fight with someone. Not going to indulge that sort of Reddit behavior, sorry.

        Marketplace is good where I live. And there’s one Simpsons Meme page I check every now and then. Honestly if you’re after Australian Cricket Simpsons Memes there’s nowhere better.
