Meta's death spiral
-
I have to agree. While it's still useful to connect it has become quite the cesspool of commercialization and scams.
-
It's certainly no fun to use anymore. My feed seems to just be an endless stream of crap. Occasionally, somebody I know posts something, but not often.

From the perspective of my kids, having a FB account is a completely absurd idea.
I deleted my FB account around 5 years ago and never missed it.

1Q 2026 Facebook reported: "Revenue was $56.31 billion, an increase of 33% year-over-year."
That's a heck of a "death spiral."

It's worth noting that the claim is based on article from The Failing New York Times, another organisation who's imminent death may have been a little exaggerated.

That’s meta not Facebook and they own 5 different social media platforms. (Well, 4 plus WhatsApp)

If you hit the friends button, you get the latest from the feeds of the people you follow. You still get some ads, but not nearly as much annoying stuff.
My kids have deleted all their social media accounts. I’m having a harder time letting go, I really do enjoy seeing what old friends are up to. And I share a lot of what I’m doing in the art and clay studio on Instagram. My son calls those little hearts dopamine hits.

@jon-nyc . Kid one is in the mental health field and quit long ago for issues it causes. Kid two works in big tech, and has pretty much decided being active on most social media platforms is a mistake both personally and professionally, for mental health and security reasons. -
So it’s just one more click. On left hand side under your name (enlarge the window so it shows up), scroll down and click feeds. Then click friends. You still get ads, but you get your friends latest posts.

More bad news for Meta - this has been a long time coming.
