Remember when FB made changes and switched to timeline views. Everyone was saying this is the death of Facebook. Then in the next earnings call, they showed average engagement and time spent more than doubled.

Everyone boycotting reddit is all talk and no hat. They will still be on reddit.

This is false equivalency. And since then Facebook has deteriorated and its usage has plummeted.

Yeah, the way people stop using a platform is usually by slowly losing interest and visiting less and less.

People making dramatic announcements of departure, on the other hand, are actually extremely engaged with the platform and rarely make good on their promise.

You mean the same Facebook that no one under 30 uses?
