One can only hope. I figured out their schtick long ago.

Unfortunately it's been a great advertising vehicle for small business. Hopefully there'll be spring up companies that can fill the void

Does anyone under 30 use it?
It is not just Facebook... they monopolize the social media world. Instagram, Whatsapp, Messenger, Snapchat, and others. They control what is being said and written about. If you thought Ma Bell controlled things, Facebook makes them look like chump change

Hell even the Taliban called out social media. That's about as low as you can get since they're still on it

Zuckerberg was such a dork he created a computer app to try and get laid.

Not only that, he stole the idea of the computer app.

Regardless, the dude is still a dork. Not even billions can save people like Zuck and Bill Gates from being complete and total 'tards.

Facebook nor any other of the huge social media platforms are going away. BUT I do think change is inevitable and their monopolistic and censorship powers will be broken up, regulated or both. They've become communication utilities and their sheer size now has essentially become a monopoly that cannot be overcome by competition.

Perhaps they will form their own political party and start running for office. Seems like the next logical step to insulate themselves.

Too much money changing hands. Don't hold your breath waiting for anything of significance to happen to them.

If Facebook goes away, how am I supposed to keep track of what my high school classmates are eating for lunch?
Lol. Amen. Never joined. Never will. Zuckerberg is a turd who stole the idea the screwed his only friend out of the company and billions of dollars. If you're not important enough to be in my phone as a friend, family member or co worker I don't give two ***** about your vacation photos or dinner plans. I laugh at the dorks who brag about all their FB "friends" šŸ˜†

Whenever I hear the phrase "influencer", and realize it applies to GloZell, I want to move to Mars.

Facebook has become this quasi network of business and personal. Some folks just like to be tourists in other people's lives. Others just love self-promotion and selfie taking. It's amazing how it reveals who people really are. I've blocked 90% of my 'friends' but I do like to see what a few people are up to and I love the forums that I'm part of.

I will admit to trying it once, under duress though. Was dating an ex stripper bi sexual firefighter who lived on it and she insisted the messenger feature would be good for us. She was wrong....and neither are in my life any longer.

I thought facebook already went away? Oh yeah, im just in Zuckerberg county lockup all the time and cant post or comment lol. Hell I was in facebook jail about 8 days into a 30 day sentence and they added another 30 days due to a post I posted a few months before that.

Social media is one of the biggest things to cause the decline of this world.

I always knew there was a large % of defective people. What I didn't know, was the level of narcissism in those losers.

I loved Facebook at first, was able to stalk old girlfriends with ease....

Then the political stuff started rolling in over time, hated it!

Been off Facebook for about 10 years, life is much better now!
