Hi, and welcome arrm, Motif, the end of Facebook, Twitter and all annoying feed type platforms will be slow and gradual, (well, with any luck) since it is leading to a higher incidence of a sure neck, and finger pressing a glass screen all day.

From what l have read a restaurant is already offering free meals to children who put these things into a bucket, and actually have a civilized meal together.

And schools are considering banning them during class also.

With any luck shopping centres will be next, (lost count of how many idiots staring into their phones and typing while walking have almost run into me).

As for the future, unfortunately when holographic smart phones become commonplace, then new platforms utalizing this 3D component will exceed FB and such, and instead of sifting through a feed, it will be a 3D version.

Which will hopefully make them safer for all.

Many would argue that Facebook is already a Black Mirror episode.

The same people perhaps would hope that bots will run it into the ground.

With Mark Zuckerberg forming earth's most powerful brainstorming secret forum with Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Google's Larry Page, Jeff Bezos and the machine connected still functioning brains of Stephen Hawking and Steve Jobs Facebook will transform and transcend just similar to what Google and Microsoft did so the "world's largest country" will not be facing any type of genocide any time soon.

Someone like a Mark Zuckerberg is fully aware of such risks and will simply get Facebook to evolve throughout the ages plus they have enough money to buy out any emerging competition.

When you develop a virtual product for maybe thousands of bucks and it's now valued by the market at hundreds of millions of dollars which will only be on paper and the immense riches to be derived will not be realized until you sell.

This will be the catch for any emerging technology challenging facebook - they will be bought out in the early stages putting back companies such Facebook back in control as the dominant factor in the marketplace.

Facebook will never die in my opinion. Heck, in the future we will be able to Facebook with dead people! It may be a Facebook owned company and that means very little to users and also means Facebook not only is making money off of live users.. they will also be making money off of dead users.


Hope I live long enough to see it. Be assured I will jump at the chance to convert my existing page to a dead user page if the opportunity arises before I pass. Why? Just to piss off all of my favorite people that I like to piss off <smile>. Starting with the pizza delivery person that has an obsession to deliver warm beer with my pizza.


Then there is newspaper delivery person that always unrolls my paper and reads the comics. A hologram appears every time he opens the mailbox that depicts me hitting Bugs Bunny with a baseball bat.


Then there is my Facebook auto poster that automatically posts to this thread things like.. "Send Ice Water - It;s HOT down Here." and "I buried $1M in my favorite person's backyard."

Right now with a large number of people staring at the screen of their smartphones.. and facebook owning the major apps on those devices .. Facebook,Instagram, Whats app .. and if snap chats founders where willing to sell zuck would have owned that to.


Zuckerberg knows the business he is ine and where the attention of users are.. so don't count on Facebook dieing any time soon ..even if it goes full social justice warrior.. and bans any user expressing any conservative or right leaning views (or shadow bans..so most people can't see what you post) .. it will still be around for a long while ..

how are the bots negativly effecting what you do..to risk killing facebook

What do you mean by Facebook is Dead.


Is it paid advertising? Organic reach? What?

No!

Yes, definitely there is a change, but those changes are for better thing. Last month millions of users data is stolen from the facebook and there are many fake accounts in the facebook which are using it for malicious activities. so you can see a decline in impression and decrease in engagement. Because facebook is now rolling its updates.

Eventually They will Join Myspace

Bots engaging with other bots. Bots liking the content another bot posted. Bots reporting other bots for spamming.

And don't forget to join groups and spam your links. It's the "secret" free traffic method being "taught" right now.

Beep, bop, borp, beep...end auto-post.

Brent or bot?

[DELETED]

I think that yes, Instagram has won all! ((

i got some traffic from there though, what way forward?

I'm not an internet marketer. Or rather I don't try to be I guess is what I mean. Social Media Marketing is more my knowledge base, but Freelancing unrelated things is my daily goal. I only ended up here from Freelancer, and didn't even know it was a forum for marketing people until after I joined - I just liked what I saw!

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is I am a horrible sales person and I don't try to market my brand in ways even a beginner should. I have all the creative ideas but lack the skills needed to apply them usually (producing digital art or coding software are the skills I'm lacking, yet get flooded with all kinds of ideas for artists or developers.. I'm great at telling you how to improve your project on github but please don't ask me to make it a PR because I'll just blush and laugh at you coyly while slowly running away..)

I also love writing so much that I never shut up..

What I'm trying to say is.. even as an 'outsider' I had the same feelings about FB.. whereas it wasn't that long ago that FB was sort of the 'place to be seen' at, but now it feels like Twitter or Tumbler might be making a comeback.. G+ is closing shop next year so maybe we are just waiting on a new innovative social site to bloom... This is just the calm before the storm.

FB isn't dead some people may have lie low but they are still active

Facebook is dead for some people but it is still alive for the marketer who wants to have paid promotions on Facebook.

No way. Facebook would never be a Black Mirror episode. Not for me

Bots now almost all social networks, with the help of other evil people to make money

I think the death of Facebook is still long coming.

Facebook works awesome for me. Of course, I put in the time to build genuine bonds, human to human. Not sexy but works incredibly well for my blogging business.

Hate those posts that says dead or dying stuff. too much negative.
Nothing is dead you just gotta keep up with the changes.

Facebook is really dying. I boost many of my posts to sponsor them but I do not have such a big audience back and I'm not the only one complaining about that.

Facebook will still likely to be KING of online paid ads but keep i mind that the cost of ads will continue to increase in the future as more marketers use it for ads.

Facebook is a scam.

they are intentionally reducing reach and engagement of Page and Group posts so Business can fully depend on their Shitty Ads.

Prove: I have a 29k followers Page and get roughly 500 Reach per post, the irony.

Proof is not spelt "prove" just so you know and if Facebook is a scam then why are you participating in a scam?

Well, since Facebook is in the business of making money and it appears that they make money ( a lot of money) it stands to reason that they will continue to to make money regardless of your expert opinion to put it politely

When you have walked in the shoes of Facebook then I think your opinion has metal. Until then just keep on participating in the so called scam (your own words) that you say they are all the way to poorhouse.

Facebook should have early security and privacy measures. Because its no point in closing the stable after the hourses are left. Facebook will be a disaster to the community if they dont act fast or else it'll be forced to close.

No idea mate.

Facebook might currently be filled with old people, but there's no denying that it still got power. Who wouldn't want to target the 1.7 billion active users that it has. Yes, Facebook seems uncool and Mark Zuckerberg is orchestrating a bad Black Mirror episode that we wouldn't want to see, but that doesn't mean that you can't use the platform for your own gain.

It actually depends on what aspect you are looking at. If we are looking into the marketing capabilities of FB then that part of it is pretty lively.

Facebook is dying because the generation that gave it life now lost it themselves.

No, I think Facebook or any other social media platform will never ever be gonna dead because nowadays these platforms are not just a source of entertainment, these platforms becomes source of income for a huge number of people globally.

Facebook is going to stay alive until a better all-in-one social media platform come in, but atm that seems extremely unlikely. There's just too much that fb offers right now - pages, events, messaging, streaming... Its just too good as a tool for brands to engage with users and for users to stay up to date with various things they are interested in. Just like youtube is still alive because everyone is too lazy to migrate to a different platform. Same with facebook - users are invested too much to even consider switching.

[DELETED]

Well you use facebook by paid traffic or free traffic from what i know facebook now wants for people to advertise on their platform

Even with all the commotion with what has happened recently, the average user spends about a half hour checking their feed. While that is actually less than it has been in the past, there is still much value for advertisers. Along with AI they are improving what they do every day.

Facebook is not dead however many people on Facebook are dead.

FB and all such platforms made by REAL people. so as long as they are there , cant be dead.

Facebook not dying. but now its money oriented.

Yeah, I can totally agree on this one. I couldn't imagine my life without Facebook sometime in the past, but now I see that is turning into trash imho
I can highlight Instagram as social media and Telegram as messenger
They are going to blow up even more for sure

No facebook is not dead. This is a most popular application in the whole world.

There will always be new platforms for marketers One thing will always remain the same - fundamental human wants

Facebook is back again

[DELETED]

Facebook is not dead Its is working and will be working in future. Facebook is biggest social media.

[DELETED]

No,I donot believe so.Facebook programmers keep coming out with new features which keep people coming back every day.and encourages people who does not have it .to get it, and people who left ,to come back.

Part of me wants to say that any organisation that has invasion of people's privacy as a business model will eventually meet its come-uppance.

Unfortunately, it isn't actually an invasion of privacy if its members gladly hand over all their details.

Far as come-uppance goes, I agree with the part of you says so.

Thing is, you right 'bout what I would wanna call 'practical complicity', meanin' if'n you ain't in, then you srsly left out.

"So, hey, yeah, Susie from Wisconsin, less'n you feature YOUR CAT real regulah, we gonna suck more valyoobyool info from outta your ass to kiss sweet on our mission to unify the frickin' Cosmos around a shared ideal of bein' basically kinda STOOPID ..."

hello,
facebook remains stay as long as internet does not have its alternative. today every social network site completely depends on internet but future may be different.....

Is an interesting concept but I think Facebook is here for at least the foreseeable future. The tech world moves fast though so who really knows what's coming just around the corner

Facebook is not dead now, but it is certainly dying. Don't believe me, see this.

The future of social networks, in my opinion, is getting back to the old social networks; I mean, using those that do not demand us to reveal our real names unless we want to, and those that do not use an algorithm to decide what we see. At the moment, that points to Diaspora, Mastodon and Pump now.

Facebook will never die.

Yes. It's always good to add new features.
