in #facebook6 years ago

Doug Casey has some start views on Facebook. The most recent revelation about what the company is continuing to expose the users to is starting to hit the masses. This is creating a situation where there is a lot of uncertainty about this company.

Are we starting to see the beginning of the end for Facebook? Is something of so little societal value really going to last much longer? Should we separate Facebook the social media entity from the stock? Is it possible they move in two different directions?

Casey provides his insights in this interesting interview. His views are not uncommon among many who looked at the Facebook situation including the idea these social media giants are really hubs for the alphabet government entities.

Flagged for disagreement on rewards.

Thanks, every bit helps.

You are reading that comment wrong. They said you received to much and flagged you. I dont think so. So i flagged them.

The more people flag the better Steem will become.

Thanks for helping too. ;)

I've been flagging my arse off. In doing so it makes sense to redistribute the chain. I just flag things I cant read and other things. I think I'll follow some people that I want to flag exclusively. Steem is still stronger than #ONO and it has some crazy #TOS. I'll stay #dashy and fight the #informationwar with #infowars because #givemelibertyorgivemedeath! image

Flag for whatever reason you want.

Facebook now facing different kinds of problem like the privacy problem

Facebook is scared, they never used to advertise on television but now they are running all sorts of ads trying to do damage control. The thing about internet companies is they are really all just fads, something else will replace facebook twitter and the others, they will be the next Myspace, quicker if they kick off their biggest content producers and alienate their audiences.

Facebook will be dominated by steemit in future.

While I love your enthusiasm for steemIt Reality move maybe another application on this steem blockchain Will actually be the winner The problem with the steemIt is it is not reacted to the needs of its customer base And that is killing it it has been around For 2 years and it has not not addressed the simplest requirements a social media userbase Such as communication , configuration, storage of articles , Wizzywig design , and a whole host of other issues .

In addition Growth spurts For it is not geometric, early adoption needs to be applied with a geometric growth early on To get Minimal market penetration, say on the order of 5 to 10%, this team platform with all of its users, Does not even come close 2 One 10th Of 1%.

Add to it they have Ed their own barrier to user adoption by slowing down the sign up phase They have literally tossed them selves away Millions of users.

This is a significant Significant Problem .

Because you cannot get back a majority of those users Acquiring early adopters Is extremely difficult When you let them die on the vine You poisoned well For yourself . Without re branding Willie do not know That it is you Who they originally had a bad experience with They won't come back And that is a very tough road to followjerrylewis.jpg

Your words strike true. Let us see what comes up in the future.

thanks!

much appreciated

yes it will!

Yes hope soon

Soon soon, all Steemit needs is more traction and attention.

I've pretty much left fb for a lot of the same concerns as Casey. One major one is the ownership of content.

FB and Instagram are really annoying me! People express themselves as superstars and everyday look so amazing but that's not true, life is different. Instead of creating a sick picture of them selves, they should sign up to the real life and look around what really important is. I hope all of today's social media will die soon!

i hope for a less narcissistic way to do social media since as it is right now, its just a way to develop depression, anxiety and narcissism in the young population.

that's the point.

Facebook Will Become Past Soon 😂

@finprep FB will really face difficulty after some time.Saturation starts already.like steemit if they also do some blockchain's type innovation to give away to their users might be a drastic change .Like Nokia they never feel down ,even at the last moments ,they don't upgrade and due this feel and act of superior complex they have gone.
So ,do FB might follow the same path .

That article has no date.
I guess its older than 2008.

Here's the last statement of the article:

Doug: Meanwhile, we’ll look for something with the potential of Facebook in 2008… and stay away from Facebook today.

The oldest tweet is August 17, 2018. Just look a little farther.

Fb down hmm

 Facebook is a great app. We have had a lot to learn from this facebook news is very important and fast I am like facebook .

Their model cannot hold up forever

I didn't buy FB at the beginning, and still don't know hoe to value it. I don't think it will "Go Away", but there are fundamental questions as to how they will operate in the future.

i think they may disappear just as myspace do if some thing much better comes around

Already. People are turning to different social media platforms.

Last thing I would do is give up my personal info online. Why would anyone think it's OK to not be discreet about themselves in the first place?

Facebook has slowly been dying since the last 5 - 7 years. It used to actually be worth looking at when it was used to update statuses, pictures and life memories. 90% of Facebook is literally scrolling down looking at memes and videos. I coulda just gone to 4chan if I wanted that lol.

I'm afraid that Facebook will last longer than you think ... you have a very pessimistic opinion

sometime i wish steem was facebook, the word will be a better place

Nice post. Facebook need to regrow from today's situation and also They need to bring change to their product and learn from their mistaky, We don't have to put Facebook down or something because Mark Zuckerberg isn't bad guy cause he is not using his money only for himself but also foe the sake of technology and other people. Actually we don't have to only blame whole onto him.
