Saw on the news that a recent Princeton study predicted an 80% decrease in Facebook users by 2017. They likened the spread of Facebook to infectious disease growth patterns.
Facebook is dying. Hooray?

i deactivated my facebook a few years ago.
i have an instagram which is taking over. Its basically all the funny shit from facebook but without a whole bunch of bullshit about people crying they have no friends or bitching or complaining about the world then doing nothing about it.
Alot of memes and funny pictures with good captions. Oh and cant forget CATS! a fundamental of all internet activity.
I dont care about any lack of privacy with instagram. If the NSA or FBI want to bust in my door to see my cats or the view from my balcony theyre more than welcome. I dont put anything i wouldnt want anyone to see on there. Nice thing is you dont need to register with an email or anything. Its phone based so that doesnt do much for protection but for me i have an iphone off contract that doesnt have service or a sim in it so im as off the radar as can be bouncing from ip to ip. haha Like i said not secure but slightly more secure than facebook and myspace.

I called that shit in 2007.
But many people made their millions/billions. So good for them.
If you all only knew how fucking simple Facebook was. Think of this forum's software, Vbulletin, then dumb it down by 50%, that's what facebook was originally. I could have written it in a drunken stoop-er.

I have an account but I never do status shit or stuff like that. Maybe the occasional dog pic but no selfies or stuff like that. I just like to see what everyone's up to I went to highschool with. Once I saw what those people were up to, I realized god had blessed me with what I have gone through in life, and sometimes I feel bad for how ignorant some of my friends turned out.

agreed. I grabbed phone numbers from a few friends that i didnt have from back in the day and everyone else got the chop. Fuck these little kids who are 25+ acting like theyre still in highschool. Fuck kids now a days. All doin heroine and stealing shit from people haha. All about MOLLY even none of them even know what it is. haha.
Weve stepped into a "do shit ask questions later" era. I was luck enough to be in the "research till death" era.

i saw a post a couple days ago about a drug called meow meow...it made a kid cut his pecker off and try to kill his momma. Then at the very end of the read it goes on to say that they attached his weiner back to his body like were supposed to feel bad for him. I'd left him with a vigina personally.

agreed. Liike that "afluenza" case of the kid who killed 4 people while drunk and because he was "too rich to know right and wrong" he got off with just probation.
luckily the families are all sueing them so hopefully theyll get bled dry of every penny and they fucking deserve it.
Fuck all these kids putting random shit into their bodies and ruining fun "drugs" for us adults.

Never understood the hype.
Never understood the stock prices, or why anybody would pay for that shit after observing multiple "social programs" go bust.....like Myspace.
I WILL, however, understand why it dies, when it dies...
Facebook is an online version of the "mood ring".

Advertising. Basically any site that doesnt sell things makes money off advertising. They die once the companies see numbers drop and profits declining. Once they all pull out theres nothing left funding the site. Like on here, we have sponsors to pay for the upkeep and shit like that. Not sure if someone is using their own money as well but its about the same concept.
