Breaking News Big Companies are Abandoning Facebook

[Bear Ribs]

The Facebook button is disappearing from websites as consumers demand better privacy

Logging in with Facebook credentials was once available across much of the Internet, but websites have been turning that function off.

The interesting bit to me is here:

Jen Felch, Dell's chief digital and chief information officer, said people stopped using social logins, for reasons that include concerns over security, privacy and data-sharing.

The people are the ones driving it, they've quit using the social logins and companies are following suit as they become useless.

Well, FB is slowly becoming a relic. Looking at what this company is doing lately. I don't regret it.

That and make him be the instructor for software lessons in prison...

This seems relevant.

Meta's value has plunged by $700 billion. Wall Street calls it a "train wreck."

A year ago, Facebook's parent company was worth $1 trillion. But a risky bet on the metaverse has investors worried.

The analysis I've read suggests that Facebook's taking it from both directions simultaneously. Apple's privacy policy lets them take big bites out of Facebook's userbase. Specifically, Apple's grabbing all the people who care about their data. And for the people who don't care about their data, TikTok provides a better experience so they're abandoning Facebook from that direction. Facebook's caught in the middle with nothing going for it except that it has a big userbase and... the userbase is leaving so they've got nothing.

Facebook bet a hail mary pass on Metaverse giving them a leg up by providing an experience Apple and TikTok couldn't match. Given that turned out to basically be graphics technology from 1990 wedded to extremely basic chatroom stuff, it clearly wasn't enough, especially since they apparently spent billions on something that looks like a fanproject on Newgrounds.

Facebook has outlived its usefulness. The paradigm of Glabalist aims has shifted. Facebook allows for too much user agency and individuality, people can comment and be heard. We can't have that anymore, now that the consensus must be enforced.

Their Meta shift is just laughable. They spend billions to make a worse version of VRChat. Some furfags did better stuff for free. Probably because they had a soul while doing it.
