I read “it’s dying” by people on Discord and Reddit all the time, but the numbers prove otherwise. It’s been going up this entire time and sitting over 3 billion MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS!

I feel like the bubble around people on other platforms saying “who uses Facebook anymore lol” is kind of wild given the numbers. Keep in mind these are active users not just abandoned accounts.

    Yeah, not surprised at all. I know many people for whom Facebook is 90% of their internet usage, and some people I know use the words ‘Facebook’ and ‘internet’ interchangeably. Personally, I deleted my account well over a decade ago.

    I wonder if we could see how many new users each year (without bots), I’d wager their growth is pretty stagnant because they already have so many users that nearly every person has an account.
