Or is it that they don’t need to, they just need to let enough people know that for $$$, they’re offering something that the rest won’t get. Only once those folk have signed up will its value be tested.

I think it’s twofold. But all that matters is they are because they can and Zucker’s not happy with not making as many billions as he used to. He’s worried about the TikTok effect. He’s worried his metaverse isn’t going to be the success he hoped. And bloody Elon did it so he’s going to too
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Earning billions in the past FB has hired the best managers available. Their recipes for even more billions are simple: More revenue (a few nice Powerpoints to convince ZB), less costs (just fire around 10% of staff). Exactly whats happening now. Buy shares to participate? Up to you.

I participate in my local community groups and am part of a snake identification group.

Precisely. Being able to keep in touch with friends and extended family in the U.S. makes it useful. FB is also very helpful here in HCMC for groups as well as restaurants and shops.

Seems reasonable to me, not that expensive for what’s offered.

I’m a fan of facebook and use it daily.
