What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

That doesn't prove shit lol. You could have 5 million active users and that's still only 1.6% of the US 50 million being 16%. I wouldn't say that is a ton of people using it. Especially with reports showing 50% of all posts are done by bots. Seriously that's such a useless metric "millions" hahah OK so 2 million or 999,999,999 people use it🀣

You asked if people still used Facebook. The answer is yes. Do you really think that it has a human user base of zero?

Your literal words:

Lol do people even still use Facebook tho?

I answered your question and you decide to insult me over it. What the fuck? Why did you even ask? Because you wanted to get into a fight?

Sorry should of labeled it rhetorical for the dim witted to understand lol. You honestly thought that was a literal question? You should look into vasectomy or tube's tied so you dont procreate your family tree into a group home.

So the answer is yes, you just wanted to fight with someone. Not going to indulge that sort of Reddit behavior, sorry.
