The first time it ever declined.

3.58 to 3.56 is not loss.

They’re losing rich country users faster that they’re picking up developing country users of lower ARPU.
Therefore expect revenue to decline, at the same time they’re spending buckets chasing AI as the next pivot.
They spent $billions on the last pivot and even renamed the company after it, but all their spending on the metaverse amounted to 💩

And yet they still have lots of money and users. I want them to disappear as much as the average Lemmy user, but let’s not delude ourselves.

20 million is still a big number

You’re not wrong, but these people didn’t close their account manually. They’ll be back.

They had previously been growing around 40 million to 60 million active users a quarter.
With this first quarter of minus 20 million active users, it very well could indicate that the Facebook growth engine is over.
Ultimately we’ll need to see how the next few Qs work out.
