Apparently, Facebook has lost nearly half its traffic in the last 2 years.

BGR reports

Quote:Facebook’s traffic hasn’t just fallen by about half since 2016, according to the study. Among the consequences of such a precipitous drop is the opening it’s given to YouTube, which the study’s data shows is about to overtake Facebook to become the second biggest site, traffic-wise, in the U.S. Which would give Google ownership of the top two spots, pushing Facebook down to number three.

I don't know what the future holds with regard to any of these companies acquiring significant sports rights, but I've never thought Facebook was a good bet simply because of how their platform operates.

But now...there's no way I would lock arms with this company because the only thing they have going for them is web traffic. If they can't maintain that then I'll have better luck somewhere else.

Well they are no different than Myspace and we saw how quickly that site went under. FB's real bread and butter was data collection and even that is being done better by other companies like Google and Amazon. Considering that younger generations have moved to IG and Twitter, I would concur that this might be the beginning of the end for the Social Network.

Twitter is just a venue for people to talk trash they couldn't say to your face. It does prove what morons our leaders really are. Hard to respect politicians who act like kids in a schoolyard fight. Then there are those Hollywood elites who think their opinions really matter. Just one big soap opera. JMHO.

When there is this much noise and ya ya going back and forth it always makes me wonder what they are trying to distract us from seeing. Usually it's something far more worrisome to me than the ridiculous ruckus they are raising. In other words what is it that the press is not covering?
