As an old lady who remembers when Facebook wasn't rendered useless by engagement-hungry algorithm changes, I recommend that younger users not even get involved with the hot mess it's turned into. I'm only there because my family is, don't even get started if you don't have to.
I just want to be able to sort my feed by new again! 90% of my feed is garbage ads now, too. The one thing it was good for was keeping in touch with people, now I have to go digging around to find their posts.
as a gen z yes i don’t use facebook because of its reputation for fearmongering, however I could say the same for instagram (owned by meta) and youtube (owned by google) so it’s nice that people are trying to make alternative social medias like Diem and I hope they expand to become bigger and hopefully better platforms. I think intergenerationally we all agree that these greedy companies have wasted too much of our time and we’d just like to have healthier feeds or less time on them ✌️
As a millennial who’s grown wary of social media in general, I’d rather we just stop going on social media. Any new platform that manages to grow and overtake the established ones will eventually become just as enshittified as.
Even as a teen years ago I never wanted a Facebook, I was forced onto it against my will due to my sister making me an account and putting my pictures on the internet without my consent. I was only 12 or 13 but was bombarded with creepy old men commenting on photos of me in dresses I was forced to wear that I absolutely hated. I had to remove all the pictures and change my password as my sister was nosey and always tried to keep control over me.
I got banned from Facebook after making a new, second account after they wouldn’t send me my password reset code for the first one. They denied my repeal, so it’s not any loss for me. If they want me there, they can change their ban process to actually filter out the bots and not hit humans.
I got banned almost ten years ago because I had no pictures of myself (I did, just old ones) so they demanded I show my ID. At the time, i used it often enough that I DID show my ID like a moron, but then they just... didn't care? And my account was banned forever. Well, talk about a blessing in disguise.
I musta lucked.out back then, or you got reported. I created an account in the early 2010s, I never posted a single pic of myself, used a fake name, never asked for my ID. Never banned or threatened with a ban.
I quit Facebook long time ago when I made a group and thought my photos are within the group but not true at all. My family members saw photos even they are not within the group.
I stopped using Facebook when rhey stopped being a platform for original gaming, cut off the game feed from posts, & switched to hosting mobile apps. To me, they were more like STEAM & they lacked the funny meme accounts & widely shared art posts Twitter had.
Unfortunately, when it comes down to what truly matters, it's just Gen Z and Gen Alpha replacing one brain rot with another. I wish this meant young people were leaving social media in general instead...
Seriously, It would be interesting for you to make a video (and whole research) on why a channel like yours is having such a hard time growing up. It would even be useful for you.
Thank you for the suggestion! I try and do videos on topics that haven't already been covered too much, and I think that's already been covered quite a bit. I try and make each video an improvement on the last, that's just what I'm focused on :)
i got banned from facebook as soon as i made my account without any possibility for repeal. I can happily live without it

2-3b active users? I think it’s safe to assume 60-70% of that are bots
3-world countries etc use facebook a lot .
And boomers... Else its pretty mich true bout bots

100% yes.
Forget gen z, even I as a millennial gave up on Facebook in late 2010's.
*Great video.* However, I believe that Facebook will continue to lose users.
I see how social media can useful, I don't like social media. I think we would be better without it considering the way it's used to.

I musta lucked out, or you got.reported. I had 4 accounts for gaming & never got banned. & between the two of us, I was more i the.wrong.

Left Facebook for constantly bombarding me with same people I don't know or don't want to be friend with.

when is the last time you talked to your neighbours or an stranger, that what social media can never replace
There should be a study case on how FB converted its own feed from something somewhat decent to utter garbage

How long does it take to make the whole video (from script to editing - which is probably the most time-consuming part)?
I think Facebook will come roaring back. Just like Myspace and Yahoo did.
So what your saying is they NEEED kids
