March 27th hight of delete facebook "movement" FB stock reaches low of $152.22. Since then, it has rocked up to new highs. Moral of the story as this keeps on happening over and over again (United Airlines, Tesla, Apple, Wells Fargo), do the opposite of media/HN outrage and buy emotional outrage dips... Profit.

Facebook's earnings are driven by their ad network, not user interaction.

That is, as long as Facebook is able to identify and track an individual, they can make money even if the user never spends much time on Facebook.

So, stock price is not an indicator of Facebook usage.
