I doubt it…there is a lot of dead wood in Facebook to get rid of.

Most of them -> most companies; This is like round 20 something for valley lay-offs in the last 5-12 months. But if you prefer? markets

Sign ups don't necessarily indicate usage. Meta did this interesting thing where a lot of third party sites - like Archive Social, a site that archives social media pages for federal/state/local government entities - require that you create a Facebook page in order to archive Instagram. Not only that, you must go through Meta Business Suite and create one or more new "profiles" to link to the Instagram. They encourage you to create more and more filler pages. Suddenly you have a single user with multiple "profiles" or "pages" they manage whether or not they are being used. It's a clever scheme.

Daily active users (DAU) and monthly active users (MAU) are exactly what you’re looking for

Yeah, fire all 80k people!

And between 6 and 12 months from now, the Zuck will be scrambling to find capable people to work for Meta.

How can you know so much detail about a round of layoffs that hasn't happened yet?

This is interesting, I'd like to see actual usage stats, rather than sign ups, which can easily be manipulated. Though anecdotal, I've casually surveyed people I know who still have an account, and they all complain about the same thing - not much content, only ads and suggested public posts.
Wonder who is still signing up, or possibly they are clumping it with Instagram users, who use FB's login credentials.

Really shows how asinine the concept of paternal leave is.

Seems like it was only a couple of years ago he was hiring like crazy for the "glorious" 3D immersive paradigm.

So he's laying off 1000s of people as fast as possible so he can relax with his family. What a piece of shit

Put out a shitty product, get fired.

Not just superficially though - as advertisers bail from twitter, they have TikTok, fb/insta, Google as their alternative major options.

That's the funniest part, most of them are keeping senior people to avoid lawsuits, but in the process eliminating the motivated unvested. Whomp whomp

It recently hit its highest ever

Zuck must be happy that Elon Musk has been taking all the heat off Meta for the past 6 months or so.

We all know that without Fox News and Facebook, you would not have any friends. Your world would only be filled by people like me, telling you the truth, telling you that you're nuts. That's why it's so important to you to defend Fox News and Facebook. Literally like an addict when their family tries to throw away their stash. What would you do without all the right wing lies that you've built your entire world around?

I don't think that logical reasoning is your friend.

Yep, I know. Brother, you don't have to convince me twice that you've cut out the middle man and gone straight for the fully concentrated good stuff. You're hooked up to the online feeds straight from Russia and China.

Lol. Someone is a fan of dumb assumptions. The number of hours of cable news television that I have watched in the last year can be counted on one hand, without the need for any fingers.

But keep assuming.

Yes, we already know the nonsense that Tucker, Hanity, and Russian intelligence services told you to think.

You’re probably going to need therapy once you realize that Fox News is getting it’s ass handed to you in court for lying to people such as yourself. If you are so smart that you think you can find proof of Jewish Space Lasers programming the minds of the “left wing” billionaire corporate owners, I suggest you sue CNN, ABC, NBC, etc., yourself. Will love to see your proof, will be very entertaining. Until then, actual provable disinformation and anti-American incitement is being spread by Fox News and Facebook.

No, they are not owned by conservative billionaires. They're owned by large corporations who have been coopted by the woke left. And they are spreading massive amounts of lies.

Shall we hold them accountable for their lies too?

So how about them? They are all right wing outlets owned by conservative billionaires. But they are not as bad as Fox News and Facebook in spreading Chinese and Russian propaganda, instigating violent insurrections, and filling impressionable redneck minds with nonsense.
