It’s more insidious than dead internet theory. Imagine any significant social media platform containing a large proportion of users that can be directly prompted to tout any message, or mass downvote opinions that the company doesn’t like. All this can happen while the company claims to be a “free speech platform”.

Like some kind of necromancer and their army of undead.

To be fair: The boomers still crawling on Facebook can be considered dead in some way.

Them and alot of Millenials unfortunately, I quit FB about 9 years ago and when ever I run into someone I know they always wonder why I'm not on FB anymore.

Speedrunning the Dead Internet theory.

[–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

why would that even be beneficial for Facebook?

[–] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because they’re reaching a point where the amount and quality of user generated content is not enough to retain the remaining users.

they have 3 billion users though??

[–] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

3 billion registered accounts is not the same as 3 billion individual active users. Most people don’t delete their account when they stop using a platform.

The boomers yearn for the Shrimp Jesus
