Facebook amplifies, it doesn't create. People link to twitter threads from HN all the time, rarely if ever do they link to FB posts.

Nobody cares about Facebook, even though it's hugely used it's a dead letter.

Facebook is a dying site and it isn't for sale. Irrelevant to the options.

Weibo and Wechat are also not available for sale, so what's your point?

Also irrelevant to the conversation.

My rebuttal was to this comment, which implied that size was an overriding factor of importance. That comment was a rebuttal to you. So I'm not sure what you even want to argue about.
