How will Facebook die? - RIP G+, Orkut memories

[Professional iPad Hoarder]

When FB started, all the cools kids jumped into the hype train, Orkut, MySpace and MSN were slowly dying and now G+ is going to die (nobody cares) do you think that FB will stay for much more longer?

 

[Monika H.]

Yes, because it's a Jewish invention and Judaism is notoriously hard to eradicate, wherever it takes root.

Facebook has a strong base of total normies who only use the site to post about the most mundane shit imaginable. They dont know, and will likely never learn, about what FB is doing with their collected info behind the scenes.

The news feed censoring doesnt even come into it, the kind of person im talking about isnt on Facebook for news.

Facebook is in fact the modern representation of the ancient book of the damned known as the Zuccronomicon. There is no known way to kill it, because the normies keep it alive.

They've firmly established themselves as the premier way to stay in contact with colleagues, friends and relatives, as evidenced by their advertising pre-cambridge scandal. They'll keep going strong regardless of what happens.

With strange aeons even Facebook may die.

 

[Raging Capybara]

Facebook is a containment for normies and (stupid) old people.

It's actually very healthy for the internet overall.

 

[Káiser Futura]

(((Facebook))) will never die.

 

[To Infinity And Beyond]

To be honest? I don't think facebook is gonna die for a very long while if ever, it has a lot of users, is a very big presence on the internet, and many many people use it. It's sticking around.

Facebook the service might die if Zucc fucks up the feeds to optimize ad revenue, so people stop browsing it to kill time and therefore become less inclined to post anything, causing a death spiral.
Facebook the company will live for longer, as they diversified with Whatsapp, Instagram and other stuff.
In fact, if people move away from Facebook, it would be mostly to other Facebook-owner services.

Other sites like Myspace also had a big presence, but Myspace wasn't used by your mom (unless she was some youngish white trash mom) The difference with Facebook is that it's used by "everyone"

 

[whatever I feel like]

Not with a bang but a whimper, just like all social media platforms.

 

[escapegoat]

It will go the same way other things died before it.

Zuck has already lied to congress. He's gotten on Ted Cruz' bad side. You don't want to be on the zodiac killer's bad side.

 

[The Man From G.R.I.D.S.]

Facebook is a vital resource for stalking acquaintances, ex- and potential lovers, fellow employees, and lolcows. We must not allow it to die until someone dumps the pentabytes of nudes, drama-rich chats, and assorted fuckery contained therein to a file sharing site.

Soon as something better comes along.

MySpace used to be the platform everyone round here used to use (I remember a time only foreigners and that annoying freind who travels a lot had Facebooks), soon as someone comes up with something better; that or there's a scandal involving #MeToo or pedophilla.

 

[Dr. Tremolo]

Seriously, I don't think it'd die unless somehow a better replacement arrives where everyone will flock to. It's what you call a "natural monopoly" - serves a certain purpose and people use it simply because everyone else uses it. G+ died specifically because people don't need it for that reason.
I know plenty of people who don't even post any shit on it and only use it to talk to other people, like myself.

Facebook is, or at least was, a popular way for pedophiles to post pictures.

I was sent a link to a page by someone who asked me to report it. I'm not one to report stuff, but I did this time because the photos were of a kid naked on a hotel bed. I didn't continue clicking to see if the photos got more graphic, but it was clear these weren't like the bubblebathtub pictures grandma takes, and these pictures were up on the internet for anyone to see.

Of course. Better question, will Friendster ever make a comeback?
