Facebook cheated the numbers, so to speak. In every poor SEA country is a Facebook plan, or plan with x data + free Facebook. Stop acting like it was organic growth, it really wasn't and we both know that.

Ah I had never read an article about it, just saw the phone plans and talked to folks when I was there. Minimum googling brought me here - https://www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/333313/milliions-of-face...

I'm not from SE Asia, but from Romania. This kind of thing happens everywhere:
https://www.vodafone.ro/shop/abonamente-de-date#tab-1
-> "Detalii abonament"
-> Social Pass: [...] (Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Whatsapp, Pinterest, Twitter, Viber)
It's widespread around the world, except for the US, until recently.
