Why is Facebook still so insanely popular? (midwest.social)

I read "it's dying" by people on Discord and Reddit all the time, but the numbers prove otherwise. It's been going up this entire time and sitting over 3 billion MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS!

I feel like the bubble around people on other platforms saying "who uses Facebook anymore lol" is kind of wild given the numbers. Keep in mind these are active users not just abandoned accounts.

    It doesn't load. It shows like 0-1 post and then just spins endlessly. I know there's content they could show, because I've checked.

    I've viewing it from the website on my phone. Before you might suggest it, no, I'm not interested in the app.

    sounds like you need a better browser, and a better phone.

    Firefox and Pixel 7 Pro. It doesn't load on my desktop either, also using Firefox.

    my statement stands, especially since it works for everyone else.

    You downvoted me for giving my specs in relation to a problem I'm having with a website from a multi billion dollar company? Okay then.

    Edit: and it's not fine for everyone else. There are thousands of threads on Reddit and Facebook from people experiencing the same issues. It's cool that it works for you, but not supporting a major browser, when you're as big as Facebook is lame.
