The kids hate Facebook, because it is used by gross old people, like their parents

The Millenials hate Facebook, because they need to keep up with the latest thing, and that ain’t Facebook

The Working Generation hates facebook because it censors their content, manipulates their newsfeeds, and wastes their time with nonsense

Grandma loves Facebook. Unfortunately, she forgot how to turn on the computer

I gotta say, though, when I was going through a job search, I found Facebook very useful.

I created a profile that was the profile of an ideal candidate for the job for which I was applying. When my eventual employer checked my “Social Media”, they found just what I wanted them to find.

You can’t buy that kind of endorsement. Worked like a charm.

They keep convincing people to stay away from Facebook. They succeeded with me about a decade ago. Maybe it was Russian bots disguised as friends that I like very much but don’t want to chat with ‘til 3 am?

Maybe the drop in revenue is due to Facebook evicting all the conservatives. Maybe they were the people with the most profitable storefronts or did the most buying?

Facebook missed projections on revenue and global daily active users this quarter after struggling with data leaks and fake news scandals.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Nah! They are tanking because of their new algorithm that controls the extent of relating with Friends.It is disliked wholesale. People are moving on from Facebook as a result.

“Facebook’s $100 billion-plus rout is the biggest loss in stock market history”

This came Fox at 3:10 pm EDT:

Zuck loses $16B in 5 minutes, key shareholder calls for his head as Facebook shares crater!

The tech titan’s net worth has fallen after weaker-than-expected second-quarter results, and issued guidance that its financial future isn’t as rosy as some thought.

Wow revenue is short by just over 1% and the price drops 24%. Talk about some stupid emotional trading. It’s still a $52 billion dollar company folks. Buy, don’t sell.

I used to use FB advertising quite a bit. Over time, I found it to be less and less effective in driving sales. This struck me as odd because the ability to use the advertising module to drill-down into my key audiences became more and more sophisticated. If anything, I should have found increased effectiveness.

Then it hit me--I'm selling Christian-related products. Either FB is skewing their marketing to be less effective and more expensive for such advertisers, or Christians are simply fleeing from the medium. Maybe both.

<><>Facebook deleting a billion accounts is solid evidence of wrongdoing.

The SEC should be advised that FACEBOOK apparently mislead investors.

CONTACT enforcement @SEC.gov

<><> Investors need to be talking with their lawyers-----their Facebook Annual Reports in-hand.

The SEC prosecutes when publicly-held companies misrepresent their status to investors.
