Facebook Users Are Sharing Less and It's a Big Problem

[DEAD7]

Facebook is starting to see decline in original posts and people sharing their thoughts. "Facebook's decline in personal updates reflects a common growing pain for online communities. What starts out as a special and intimate place to share thingsgrows into a big, impersonal, and professional platform ." The author points out one of the reasons why: "They know that, unlike in Facebook's earlier days, their status updates can now be seen by distant relatives, high school classmates, and co-workers -- so they don't share anything too personal."

I don't actually post on my wall.
Just stay in a few discussion groups I use and have conversations there.
Much better use of Facebook imo, it's a real community and actually active.

lmao. FB has been reduced to a BDay calendar and rated-G family pictures.

Lucky for them they own IG as well, but even that seems to be falling off a bit cause of Snapchat.

Twitter is still going strong as ever and surprisingly Vine is still around even after IG sharked their video-clip platform...

They shoulda launched a "no parents allowed" campaign

Branding what?

This is not a big problem at all.... Unless you mine data and sell it for millions to advertisers.

Then it's a problem

I've hated FB for like 4-5 years now. It's crazy because I never liked the idea of it and then I joined in 2009 and then sure enough in like a few years of using it I hated that shyt.

I don't care about people's carefully curated lives enough to be on there like that. IG and Twitter serve their purposes far better than FB does.

Facebook UE is a mess, mostly thanks to the over abundance of



Instagram, Snapchat and YT is where it's at for real original content.

seeing as how they know law enforcement, employers, etc. scan peoples' facebooks, it seems much of the general populace has wised up to be careful what they post.
