#12Nobody hates Facebook users more than Facebook, I guess. :-/ I've tried to type out several pithy comments, but the bottom line (to me) is that Facebook just doesn't respect its users or care about their needs. Can you imagine if brick-and-mortar businesses tried to do this? You go out for a Big Mac, but it's not on the menu anymore because Taco Bell had a few really good quarters, so McDonald's decided to pivot to t…
Yeah, apple went from selling personal computers to iPods, phones and headphones, where they make most of the money.... Would you have said the same for Apple back in 2007? Ps. Restaurants change menus all the time.
The change for Apple was a slow boiling pot. And initially you couldn’t even set up an iPhone without a computer (with Mac OS integration making it a lot smoother).

It’s not that easy. This is life and death for Facebook. TikTok is really taking over and is a force. It’s also a Chinese company and so they can’t buy it. They are forced to compete, either they do this or become fully irrelevant
Facebook is a sinking ship. It's hard to turn that around.
It seems like it would've been easier to go after TikTok with Instagram - which is basically the same product, growing, and still has some brand value.

#14> Mark last week as the end of .. What a unique garden-path sentence.[0] I had to re-read that a couple times since I thought it was referring to Mark Zuckerberg given the title of the article.. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence
This might be the first time I've seen one of these in the wild since I learned about this in college. Thanks for pointing it out

We do share a disdain for the DataKraken, yet META dominated in June '22 across the most downloaded apps. [1]

This isn’t “Taco Bell outsold McDonald’s for six months so all of a sudden McD’s sells McTacos.” This is, “McDonald’s realizes about two years too late that no one wants to eat burgers anymore so in a last-ditch attempt they add tacos to the menu.”

More like MTV non longer showing music videos imo. Facebook could have stayed your personal Rolodex and serve that use case but decided to chase engagement wherever it could.
Maybe it was inevitable and necessary to avoid death or maybe they abandoned their primary purpose and turned off their users and therefore the network / social graph from which they derived value.
Or maybe they will continue to print money.

#19Went to facebook for the first time in months to check this out. Clicked the little TV icon and waited for 20 seconds on a blank page before some worthless smut loaded. I don’t see this going well for facebook.
