Social media is now practically a requirement for life, whether that's LinkedIn for your career, or FB/Instagram/TikTok if you're trying to sell something. And these platforms advertise themselves as free speech, but they're _filtered_ speech, actually giving people worse stuff because it's more engaging. And some of them are actively boosting their preferred viewpoints on politics, the economy, culture war stuff. You can't have it both ways. Get rid of the recommendation algorithms and go to chronological only,
I actually made money off FB, too. I owned from Nov 205 until I got disgusted with their product and sold in June 2020. I donated every penny of profit I made to Organization for Social Media Safety. People say social media has some good in that it brings people together which is exactly what the tobacco industry claimed as well.
More like bakery researched the quantity of cocaine that would cause addiction and repeat business without being detected. They aren’t pushing facts, or news, or your friends lives anymore. They’re pushing misinformation and rage bait for clicks and engagement. No one likes being on FB anymore, opening it is a habit now.
It’s rage bait, race bait, and misinformation every time I open FB

I was walking in a field by a library and spotted a pokemon looking thing. It was the $200 apple earpods pro in a pokemon case cover. Kaching, sold em on FB marketplace same day for 50 bucks.
By what metric are you saying FB is declining? Share price? Advertisers ROI? User growth or retention? Care to be a little more specific?
Every year the amount of money we spend on FB ads increases, been that way since 2020 too. The ROI is just too good to ignore. Online advertising is basically split between google and meta.
Youre outdated. The value from FB has been declining sharply.

Maybe it’s been going on longer but I started noticing it once it went public. Or maybe when the trash app was released. The first ten posts EVERY TIMR I log on are from subs I’m not subscribed to and I spend ten minutes expressing my digital disinterest in them. Meanwhile I’m subbed to like 150 subs and I rarely see them. It’s now FB without pictures of boomer’s grandyoungins.
I work in digital marketing. Nothing has better returns than FB. IG, tiktok, snapchat, reddit, etc... doesn't come close
which is ironic considering how FB is tracking employee mouse movements for AI data training
lmao, from what? FB which is a dying bot site used to promote right wing misinformation? IG? How's the metaverse doing? Yes, I'm sure those snazy glasses and being last place in the AI race will really boost their value.

He never had any vision other than how to preserve the FB monopoly on personal data useful to advertisers by buying potential rivals. I don’t even believe the original insight was his given how badly he has sucked at everything else.
Twitter was good earlier without IG or FB like media content on it’s scrolling screen

Boom thank you How did FB go? IPO 30 drop almost 50% then after two years started climbing
literally the worst social media platform, in a world where FB exists
Simply not true - its dead. Maga is on FB.
It's wild. Half a billion loss each quarter. Last year it was about a billion each quarter. The year before, it was about $1.5 billion per quarter. They've literally never had a profitable quarter. It's crazy when comparing [their net income](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/SNAP/snap/net-income) to [Meta's](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/META/meta-platforms/net-income). I remember when people here were saying SNAP would replace FB and IG. Lol.
My client posts everyday on the local FB pages about how we need to destroy Flock cameras but then calls literally every Monday to ask about his Palantir shares.
millennial here - i use snap, i dont use FB or Insta
Buy Stocks you use everyday. iPhone, YouTube, lowballing in FB marketplace and RDDT
If Anthropic IPOs even a month before OpenAI, OpenAI won’t be able to get out of the gates. This isn’t the 2010s when FB, GOOG, and even AAPL were still growing, nascent businesses with a valuation in the 10s of billions. The adoption of AI has been so fast and quick that they’re much more mature. What kind of returns will there be following their IPO? Tepid take, but bubble pops after the Anthropic IPO pop fades.

I had no idea they're bringing it back. I'm all for it in theory, but I don't really have enough time for social media to say I'd take advantage of a revival. FB Marketplace is really the most useful to me.
Ad revenue is up because they've steadily increased ad costs for their customers. Go look at all the posts and comments from frustrated FB/IG Ad buyers in that sub. Meanwhile, rate of growth has decreased. Notice every third thing you see on FB/IG is a promoted post. Sure AI is helping them deliver better targeted ads, but how long will the profits be able to cover the cost of the buildout?
Daily active users killed rddt short term but reddit isn't like facebook or other social media. FB users mindlessly scroll, reddit users browse with intent and are actively using their brains. Not comparable. FB just takes advantage of people's dopamine addiction, with better regulation FB is toast, reddit has a better case. Am I crazy?
first earning, FB moved $27 to $34, 25% move
I think you're underestimating that value. Aside from FB Groups, which I dont use, there is no sense of community or connection anywhere else. A major news story, I go to reddit to review comments and thoughts. New dad - reddit. Stock thoughts, let me see what reddit thinks. I know its not the most accurate, but its one of the only platforms I can engage with 0 klout or followers. Most news sites block comments (for a good reason) and X doesn't give the same level of interaction. Usually only poster engages.
Reddit ads feel more premium than FB trash. IG ads are the only useful ad space I see from Meta
Took about a year for FB to move up, let alone moon
SPCX is going to the moon! It's FB all again.
They’re going to want real time data. A lot of people that are on Reddit aren’t on FB or Instagram and X, they only use Reddit. They can use that data to figure out what we like ect. And market to us better. Also just to get a general sense of what people are currently thinking, trends, ect. If meta and X are all AI slop, this data becomes extremely useful. When’s the last time you dropped a comment on D or FB?? Then compare it to how often you post here.
You think this is impacting FB/Insta? Numbers don’t suggest so, different kind of platforms
I like how everyone wants Reddit to die while being on reddit. Same as folks who cry about meta while addicted to insta FB WhatsApp. Either vote with your choices or sit back like the hypocrite you are
I too like to go on FB and bitch about Zuck!
Only Instagram is making money. FB is trash. META is a bit overvalued. Analysts also lowered the price targets.
over 80% of the US population is on FB lol
Every ad there I see people vote it down. Very little impressions cf to FB social media,
Zuckerberg’s “business” decisions in the last few years have been heavily slanted toward minimizing his personal liability and risk around his extreme negligence toward user safety- especially kids- paired with his infamous copycat/FOMO vibes, this time toward AI. The result is a horrific and continually declining product offering (FB especially is completely unusable and declined precipitously during the lead-up to the last election) with gobs of money spent on AI and little to show for it. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving reptile.
appreciate we can have a discussion this long without any insults on reddit :) > why Snap is not that popular Snap has 1B MAU and 500M DAILY active users. That is pretty popular considering it's primarily targeted for teens so the % of teens using it is pretty darn high. Like no one is expecting 50 year olds to use snap. > Snap is actually a good example to bring up cause they made a very intentional decision on friend to friend messaging as a contrast to FB/Instagram's strategy. Snap did the exact same thing as FB/IG did. They built a social network that made it feel different from the mainstream one. Like FB first was exclusive to colleges (vs Myspace), and IG was supposed to be for "insta" moments and both eventually expanded so much where it started to feel less personal that it gave room for Snap and BeReal. But Snap did the exact same thing, they started introducing influencers and channels to monetize. It became normal for young people to start asking each other for their snap as soon as they met so people started becoming more performative on snap. my younger sister cried when her snap streak with her close friend ended lol. she basically posted snapchats half the time to show how cool her life was (luckily she's grown up now and has a better relationship with social media) just like how ppl do on IG stories. > But my general point is, we got rid of FB and Instagram (and no replacement products), we'd all be no worse off and I think teenage girls especially would be better off. This is simply not true if we got rid of search engines or google/apple maps or youtube. I can't even imagine the inconvenience of not having Google maps on my phone. There's a lot here and I don't want to ramble too much, but 2 points: 1. SMBs are an important part of our communities and they rely a lot on FB/IG. But I agree for the everyday user Gmail, Google, Maps are way more practical (but that's more of a comment on social media vs utility rather than Meta vs. Google) 2. YouTube is pretty bad...I mean isn't that where Andrew Tate and a lot of conservatives spread propaganda : "YouTube’s impact on mental health is complex. While it provides community and emotional support, excessive use is linked to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. The platform's algorithm and endless content can fuel compulsive viewing, unrealistic comparisons, and one-sided relationships known as parasocial bonds". Anyways I don't want it to come off like I'm glazing Meta lol, I've just worked in the industry so I've seen the pros/cons of all the tech companies through working/friends/etc
>If Meta were to disappear, youth would still have issues with attention spans though Tik Tok, they'd still feel the need to compete socially through Snap or BeReal. I just don't see what Meta has done uniquely with their products that makes it more addictive than any other tech company. Snap is actually a good example to bring up cause they made a very intentional decision on friend to friend messaging as a contrast to FB/Instagram's strategy. I think this is also probably why Snap is not that popular and the company itself is not doing that well. This just goes to my original point that these companies are not really fungible. They make different decisions. We have emails from Zuckerberg and leadership proving that they care about market share and growth above all else. That's just clearly not universally true since as I've said, Google walked away from the largest market on earth in China whereas Zuckerberg literally offered Xi Jinping his child's naming rights. > your point was that it was limited utility, now you see to be saying there is utility but maybe not unique utility That's fair. I was being too harsh. Unique utiiity is better way to put it. But my general point is, we got rid of FB and Instagram (and no replacement products), we'd all be no worse off and I think teenage girls especially would be better off. This is simply not true if we got rid of search engines or google/apple maps or youtube. I can't even imagine the inconvenience of not having Google maps on my phone.
Tools are IDEs, frameworks are frameworks. People use agentic front-ends with in an IDE or together with an IDE usually. You dont really go say I will use Meta's CLI because I want to develop with GraphQL, react etc. More importantly though Meta gets nothing when people use those frameworks. They dont sell them. They get benefit when people use their FB apis etc regardless of the framework.

Arab Springs feels like a bad example given how it ended. Maybe you’re too old then to realize how damaging a product like instagram is to the youth? Renting apartments, buying things, dating, can all happen without Facebook. No one I know really use FB for any of those things and they do not seem to have a shortage of things to buy.
> Afaik it's just a simple messaging app (but maybe it's more complicated idk), so I don't see how it could be that harmful. it's really not that simple, it has a lot of features similar to IG. You can post stories, message businesses, follow channels (like ESPN, etc.), video call people - in a lot of countries you can't even do business without WA. Also if you boil it down like that, what is IG? Just a place to message your friends and post photos... > Their two main products, Instagram and Facebook actively make people unhappy and provide very limited utility that's just false, you clearly are coming from a very biased POV if you think two products that have ~3B monthly active users provide very limited utility. Yes, there are people who unfortunately get negative effects, but there are also people who are addicted to gaming, porn, TV shows, etc. you wouldn't call TV shows "limited utility" would you? I mean at the very least there's value for small business to grow. Also wasn't Arab Spring enabled through FB groups? Maybe you're young, but plenty of older people including myself use it because it helps us keep in touch with our friends. I've also found apartments to rent, things to buy, my friend found his SO on FB dating...to say "limited utility"...
Meta is largest media and entertainment company in the world. Ppl's behaviors are changing from watching TV and Netflix to short videos on FB / Instagram / YouTube. I agree Meta has larger moat than Msft or Amzn. You get laid off from office job and you dont use msft product. Meta is on people's phone all day regardless of your economic or jobs situation. Come to think of it, Meta might be the company with strongest moat of any company on earth. Kinda crazy that Meta trades at 15-18x Fwd PE.
Try to read the context of my original comment. My original comment was specifically about how Meta wouldn't be replaced by another company doing the same exact thing, because for one, it's a production of acquisition. In another timeline, a FB alternative wouldn't have done the same set of acquisitions. That's why I brought up Instagram and Whatsapp specifically. I've made no claim that they're done bad things with every single acquisition. I'm sure they've left some largely alone. I've given you a very clear example of the bad thing they did with Instagram. I'm American so I don't use Whatsapp like most of this country so I have no idea what's going on there. But if you tell me they've done nothing bad there, I have no problem believing you. Afaik it's just a simple messaging app (but maybe it's more complicated idk), so I don't see how it could be that harmful. > what makes you say that relative to other tech companies Meta is worse? Their two main products, Instagram and Facebook, actively make people unhappy and provide very limited utility. The world would be worse off if we didn't have Google search or gmail or Youtube. I do not see how the world would be worse off if we got rid of Instagram or Facebook. >why do they keep r.conservative around If your stance is conservatives shouldn't be allowed a forum to discuss their politics - that seems very extreme.
I think Zuckerberg and the FB leadership are less moral even by the standards of Silicon Valley. For example, Google actively walked away from the Chinese market due to censorship whereas Zuckerberg spend a decade trying to get FB unbanned. It's very possible that an alternate FB led by a different guy would have different priorities.
ok so is your issue that meta is a conglomerate or that the products are cancerous...nothing about how Meta built the products is RELATIVELY different than any other tech company (newsflash: including the one you're on right now). I mean if I'm being honest I see way more fake news on reddit than I do on FB/IG (cause I actually use those for it's intended purposes to keep up with my friends)
Maybe.. guessing they still get the majority of their revenue from boomers and GenX using FB. I’m GenX and have never had a FB account as I can’t stand it, but almost everyone my age does have one..
That’s my point. Another FB is unlikely to make the same exact acquisitions. Social medias are all unique. It’s not like an Exxon mobile versus Chevron where the products are undifferentiated
META has to recover to 600. IT HAS TO, right?? Meta at sub 600 is a fucking bargain, buyers have to be swarming in. The thesis on META hasn't changed, they're still the social media king, and they still make insane ad money on whatsapp, insta, and FB.
MSFT can show an ROI on that CapEx with its cloud business. META, well, you can create an AI girlfriend on FB ...
I've been holding META aka FB for a hot minute and was always thinking of ditching my position but I don't want to take the big gains. I bought FB before Zuckerberg decided to go heavy on VR. I'll be the first or second to say, **VR WILL NEVER CATCH ON.EVER!** For all these tech incel nerds at Meta, they understand tech, but they don't understand that humans are already sick of screens and being isolated. Society is at a tipping point, where screen time, notifications, being "productive" and all this garbage is shit people don't want. Yes I get it, some of the incel crowds hope to get virtually laid after having a virtual conversation with their virtual AI gf, while they check email and their feeds and prediction markets. Only the loneliest incels (which is the market for VR) will find use cases for using VR while the rest of society is moving AWAY from SCREENS.
what's the meta thesis tbh? their AI is shit and FB is a dying boomer graveyard... meanwhile insta is just thotts advertising their ass tbh
Granny watching and clicking every ad in her FB feed

Of all the Mag7, META is the only company that has shown no real ROI on its massive AI spend. Unlike GOOGL, AMZN, and MSFT who have cloud businesses, META is out there operating rudderless, unless they show that creating AI girlfriends on FB is the real future.

AI spend is large BUT. Old people love FB, FB controls a massive chunk of the digital ad market, FB is leasing computer capacity to other AI firms. They will be fine on their AI spending.
This shit is all momentum, it traded too high on early upward momentum so it’s been riding the downside of that trade. It’ll eventually hit a point where enough people have pushed this thing to be higher that big buyers will get momentum going in the other direction. I always think of FB IPO, that shit was a train wreck. How are they going to make money off mobile? Way overvalued out of the gate at $104B supposedly ($38/share) in 2012. Peter Theil dumping out of the gate. Stock tanks to $17.50 5 months after IPO. 11 months later stock is back to IPO at $38, <4 years later stock is at $180, 2021 it crosses $1T mkt cap, etc. It took a lot of big changes and some really good financials to get those valuations but the thinking with SPCX is they have done some insane shit the last decade so what’s to stop that trajectory of innovation and market/revenue creation? Most companies you’re betting they can take market share of existing revenue but occasionally you have companies that are essentially inventing new ways to generate revenue with high barrier to entry.
Social media industry is one sector difficult to crack as an investor. Even with FB initial ipo it was almost a mirror image of Spcx. Over issued qty and stock price tanked right after ipo at $38 until several strong earnings proved it was not a $ losing business. It is burning more money than anyone projected. Reduce it head count to save money actually affected the rental market in the headquarter neighborhood. AI does not replace human. Meta still need human to make a decision getting some people back. I have following its AI expenditure. Its AI products are not popular. Meta generated "zero direct revenue" from individual AI services in 2025. It claims its advertisements with AI algo allows viewers to stay on looking at ads longer can be misleading. It needs paid subscription to justify its 130 billion dollars of expenditure for this year. It is claiming revenue growth is a result of better tools to justify it astronomical bills. If you want to prosper you do better with its AI data center suppliers. One is utility company supplying its power. Disclosure: I still have small positions of Meta. My cost basis is a bit high $292/s. My style is I take gains and leave.
If you bought INTC at the beginning of 2017, you'd be up $2.03 a share today. Up 61ish on NFLX, down 10$ on DIS and up 53$ on FB. I would love to buy back into INTC but considering they are basically claiming they cant do what they need to without massive Government subsidies, I dont think its a good hold (shares). I may look into some ITM LEAPS if they are reasonable priced. I wouldnt think there would be a lot of upside on them though.
By late August/early September, Zillow, Redfin, Opendoor, Compass, and all the other "tech housing" companies will go bankrupt. Meta (FB) will be "showing signs of trouble," according to Jim Cramer in, ohhhhhh, I don't know, two weeks? Maybe three? He will then continue to pump banking stocks as they continue their decline. GME will steadily decline for a week until it pops up to $138 briefly and then declines steadily again until it pops up to $138 briefly and then declines steadily again until it pops up to $138 briefly and then declines steadily again. JPOW will admit that things aren't looking as good as they were expecting them to by now and that the fed has many tools and is willing to use them if the data suggests it's pertinent to do so, but right now they're waiting to see what happens with unemployment and inflation, and will decide what to do after the data comes in, at which point they will analyze the data from a month ago and watch for the data for this month next month, at which point they'll analyze the data from the prior month and see how far behind the curve they can get while maintaining a positive outlook on the economy and growth... We're fucked.
After that HOOD deal today: If Bloomberg releases a shocking news bit about a stock and it plunges buy calls, if it causes parabolic rise get puts What a disgrace those clowns 🤡 are insider trading. That’s # 2 this year, don’t forget the fake ass FB news they dropped the day before earnings earlier in the year
2% move after earnings is now meaningful? You're really grasping for straws here... Bring back the FB style drops.
So you ae in denial that trump works for Putinj. You probably think the Steele dossier is a hoax and Hunter Biden is to blame. You think Mueller found nothing, the FB I had no reason to be wiretapping Russian agents in Trump Tower, the Durham Investigation proved Hillary was to blame, and the 22 year funding of trump bt Putin never happened even though all trumps admit it and boasted abojut it prior to 2016. I'll leave you with my favorites. first circa 2015, Michael Cohen reports Trump just heard some mysterious Russian overpaid for a ramshackle Florida mansion he for sale by a whopping 50 million. That is the Russia paid 50 million above asking. Trump winked to Cohen and say "that was Putin", and trump was very proud of getting that bribe. I advise you also study the strict barriers and rules Mueller had to contend with in his investigation where he convicted 44 Russians and Trump 2016 top officials. 1) He wasnt alowed to indict Trump 2) He could not look at the trump Org and their financing 3) He cojld not follow Russian money back prior to 2016 3) He could not investigate anything not directly linked to the 2016 campaign 4) he has to close and end the investigation with "only" 44 convictions Putin also openly admitted yes of course he intervened in the 2016 election to help Trump. It was no secret. Mueller and others detailed the 10 million Russian trolls they created to act as disinformation agents from 2016 to the present day. If you had ten million fans on the internet lying for you don't you think you could make headway in whatever it was you were trying to do? Read the Steele Dossier. It is almost all proven facts. It is exactly how it went down. See Jill Stein and Michael Flynn celebrating with Putin in Moscow right after the election, Both weer Russian agents. Stein alone made the difference in the election when trump had no Green fake Russian candidate in 20290 he tried to make one up with Kanye West. Read the Trump Tower meeting transcripts. Openly soliciting election help and lovin it from Russian agents and trump was on speakerphone. Or how about deripaska oligarch jet following trump to every campaign appearance in 2016? Or Marint Butima an arrested Russian agent as a fake journalist asking Trump questions about Putin and Russia? or tyrump celebrating with Lavrov and the Russian ambassador in the Oval Office after firing Comey precisely because he wouldnt promise to close the Russia investigation. por McCain walking the steele Dossier into Comey and finding out they'd never seen it but it matched their own intel exactly? Or here is a doozy, google the 2016 audio of McCarthy Ryan and Jordan discussing and agreeing that TRUMP IS A RUSSIAN AGENT, then agreeiing with the Treason Caucus listening to cover it up and lie about it. Hillary llost by 35,000 in seven key precincts targeted because Russia hacked the DNC got all their polling data, while manafort also shatres GOP date with Russian agent Kiliminik, then it all went to Cambridge Analytica (a Russian intelligence op co-run by Steve Bannon) where it weapnized th trolls to attack and bombard those seven districts right before the election to smear Hillary and suppress the vote. Hillary would if not for Putin's running Trump's internet, trolling, blackmail and bribery campaigns. Any one of Putin's many attacks oin Hillary would have made the difference. PLus Putin did many victory laps after that in Russia everyone boasting that he had rigged the US election and now had an "agent" in the Oval Office. Now you tell me one piece of what I just wrote that isn't fact. Bet you can't.
Should we kill FB/META? I feel like a lot of people (including myself and close friends) are plainly no longer using FB products for reasons like bots, over-marketing, old people posting old memes, etc. FB has run it's course and honestly has no positive impact on society. I've shut down all my FB related accounts and encourage others to do so too. Let's kill a giant.
It’s down 40% from highs. But to add some perspective: FB is down 55%, AAPL down 22%, AMZN down 37%, NFLX down 72%, GOOGL down 20%. An evenly distributed FAANG portfolio has dropped more than Tesla has so by your argument tesla would be the better investment.
I personally have had far better luck with investing into individual stocks. I am also old and that has been true my entire life of investing. I have done really well with big tech in particular. Right now Google for example is a great individual stock investment. But really you want to own the big five, IMHO. Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and FB. For me in that order.
Sold a covered call (FB) that isn't set to expire until 7/1. If the stock hits the strike price tomorrow, would there be a good chance the shares get called away immediately or does it generally happen after expiration? When is a good time to roll up and out?
Yeah it’s also endless possibilities to harvest data and basically indoctrinate a whole generation for the companies in charge of that virtual world. It’ll start with education. META/FB are already lobbying for education to go metaversical and the World Economic Forum is doing the PR for them, making it seem like it’s about accessibility, ease of use and inclusivity.
This was flag as fake news on FB and false on snopes …. please stop posting fake shit
That's what I thought FB, LULU & KMX would tank because of inflation but no they all "squeezed" instead.
I didn't talk about myself. I commented that the "banks and 1%" wish to sell their bags to us. So I'm wondering why they would do that. First of all the banks and 1% hold stocks of profitable companies. I don't think they invest in GME, WISH, PTON, LMND etc. and if they do its a very small portion of their portfolio. All those profitable companies will definately be worth more in the future. So why someone would sell stocks of profitable companies to retail investors. Do they really want us to make money? Back in March 2020 I bought FB at 160 (when everyone was selling their bags). The price keep falling down and reached a low of 146 and after that skyrocket. I sold around 290 thinking this is top. I was wrong and stock kept going higher till it reached 390. Now the price is again at the Covid lows, and I'm thinking to start a new position. I would love to "banks and 1%" to sell their bags to me. Please send the price of Meta to 130 and I will buy all the bags I could afford.
DCA Apple, sell FB on any rallies- it’s dead
Facebook: they will see a massive decline from their core source of revenue- small business advertisements. Think about how much the little mom and pop shop will be hurting when the fed funds rate is 7% because historically inflation has never gone down until FFR is above it. The rest: Netflix, maybe, but competition is only getting stronger. Apple - too complex, too many different sources of revenue to analyze but with potential issues with China (say they decide to go Taiwan a go), it’s a risk still at these levels. Amazon - way overvalued at these levels because it’s still trading like 50% higher than the S&P multiple. Google - same as FB, but I like them the best.
