What Does the Death of Facebook Mean?

 Facebook was always the weakest member of the FAANG gang

  • Mark Zuckerberg was well aware of the fate that Myspace and other social media companies had met and so he worked to head off competitors by buying them up
  • Facebook's collapse is more potentially intriguing because it has dominated social media almost as monopolistically as Google has controlled search, because it remains a major source of news and because its older audience is more demographically conservative

One possibility is that social media will matter less

  • Conservatives turned over their brand, their presence and their audience to social media companies with disastrous results
  • Social media is socially unhealthy and politically disastrous
  • It spawned influencer grifters who have misled the movement and hijacked it for their own agendas
  • Studies have clearly documented how damaging immersion in social media can be especially for teens
