RE: Mark Zuckerberg \ discussing Russian election interference and our next steps - My thoughts

I know that they CLAIM to have two Billion (with a B) monthly users.
I also know that those numbers are bogus...they've admitted to it.
It was very embarrassing when they had to come clean to those who bought advertising from them.
Just exactly HOW Bogus?

Who knows?

Steemit has over 350K accounts..
of which less than one tenth are active.
How many FaceBook accounts are bots?

Sort:  

Ah, you're one of those that refuse to understand for the sake of being a contrarian or a conspiracist... not sure. The usage of FB is tracked by people outside of FB and by all estimates, they have 1 to 2 billion people accessing the site every month. FB is the #3 website in the planet. we have roughly 7 billion people. Just like everybody knows Google because they use it daily, "everybody" knows and billions of people use FB. I don't like the reality, but it is what it is. -- Steemit has 350k accounts and as you know most are inactive. FB doesn't allow bots, FB deletes and cancels more accounts each month than most other networks have ever acquired, all combined. While Steemit, minds, and all the other alternative sites struggle to get any mindshare, FB will sign up more accounts in one day than they'll all get in one month. It sucks but it's what it is.

-- They have mastered the stickiness of the site, their goal is to build a closed walled internet and so far they're succeeding. -- But it doesn't detract from the fact that MZ is one of the most influential people currently and probably to ever live.

Oh.. and this is new:
"1.32 billion daily active users on average for June 2017" -- holy crap. That is incomprehensible in terms of infrastructure, technology, product development and mindshare. Staggering, mind boggling numbers for anybody that has done any kind of network or software development.

is THAT what I am?
who knew?
that explains SO MUCH.
thank you for enlightening me..
