> Are people still using Facebook in 2026?

I know this is meant as rhetorical snark, but facebook is by far the most popular social network on the planet, so it just sounds silly.

You're right. But there's a generational aspect to this too.

Younger generations won't touch Facebook. It's seen as a platform for "old" people. So Facebook is on a modest decline. (Enter Instagram and Tiktok and all that to fill the void...)

It doesn't sound silly and Facebook is definitely not as relevant as it was 10 years ago.

  • The data indicates this is just objectively wrong. So yeah, it's silly to suggest people aren't using the most popular social media site in the world.

    • Your own data indicates that Facebook is as relevant as ever? Show that to meta they would love it!
