Future of Facebook? Will They Survive or Be The Next Myspace?

Kikkoman56 on 05/02/2022 - 18:49

In response to the recent news of Facebook's massive drop in stock value and first ever decrease in active users on the platform, what are your thoughts on Facebook and it's future?
If you haven't seen the articles check here.

As the article above mentions, they're still profitable but betting heavily on the "Metaverse" working out and becoming the next big thing.

Personally I don't use Facebook anymore beyond Messenger and social event planning and I don't see many of my own friends doing much more on it beyond that.
Add to that all the ethical and PR disasters they've been involved with in recent times and it paints a pretty negative picture.
However, it's undeniable that they still have a ridiculous amount of user data that I'm sure could produce profits for quite some time even as users slowly pull away.

On VR and the Metaverse, I am admittedly tempted by the lower price and simple setup of the Oculus Quest 2 versus the other alternatives.
But it's still $479 for the device and more money to buy an elite/3rd party head strap to improve comfort.
Add to that the games and apps and you're easily spending $500+ on a device that ties you to Facebook/Meta's VR ecosystem.

I also wonder how long they'll be able to sustain their push into the market with VR considering that as per the article above " that division lost $10.2 billion last year".
While admittedly I'm not the most social person - most of the people I know that are into VR don't own the Quest 2 and instead have a HTC Vive/ Valve Index or PSVR.
These are all more "tech savvy" gamers and not the typical internet user, beyond that I haven't heard of any other people I know go out to buy one.

When you put that perceivably slow adoption rate of their new platform, along with iOS' update to ask for tracking permission and the beginning of a decline in Facebook userbase it seems like the Zuck is in a bit of a pickle.

What are your thoughts? Do you think they'll survive and thrive or be gone in the next decade?

    I hope it goes away and is replaced by something less annoying

    It was once no adds then 10% adds but now at 50% adds its horrible

    edit: later realised that its about the stock?

    company value is really in data not earnings (so traditional value wise always looks like a bubble stock)

      Yeah that's fair, almost all modern day tech companies look like that earnings wise and hence why I comment that it could be what keeps them afloat for longer.

      I was still asking in a more general sense as well, totally agree on the ads.
      Not just for random products I don't want but also articles from news company's I don't care for.
      I often feel like it's either garbage gossip style articles or some sort of clickbaity/intentionally inflammatory representation of current events.
      Then you look at the comments on said articles and it makes your eyes glaze over…

      If my friends would be bothered to move to another platform I don't think I'd have any reason to really keep using Facebook.

      Instagram has done this to a comical degree in recent weeks. My feed is now like 15% things I follow, the rest is ads and random videos.

      Speaking of which, when I was weaning off fb, turning videos off was a huge first step… I wonder if I can do this with ig.

          I get why they do it. Videos suck people in, and they keep people on platform, I notice I do it myself. The constant videos were the straw that broke the camels back and got me to finally give up fb, ig is quickly doing the same.

            The SPX takes a damp and then prints an ATH every time after that.

              If you watch the video, Jeremy was calling the US as merely a common or garden variety asset bubble about one year ago.
              Today he's calling it a RARE super bubble with bubbles in both real estate and stocks.
              And the super bubble is only in the US. Other countries not so bad.

              He quotes the great depression where stocks only recovered by1955, Japan which still hasn't recovered from its crash, and the NASDAQ which took 15 years to recover from the 2000 crash … good luck with your tech stocks.

      I am not so sure. Their current outlook is really really bad going forward with no prospects of growth and even if the Metaverse succeeds it is 10 years off. At current Value it still has a PE of 17, It needs to be below 15 given its current outlook.

            @gromit: Bitcoin popped $44,000. The rally is coming from somewhere. My guess is whales are taking money from tech stonks to Bitcoin.

            Wait for Bitcoin to go sideways and money may flow back to tech.

    • Kangal on 06/02/2022 - 15:07

      Came to say this.
      Facebook will both die and survive.

      Their old platform is dying, that's why they continually update and transform it. And it will survive because they'll keep buying up their competitors. At the end of the day, this is merely about capturing the time-spent (or attention) of people who visit the digital world.

      I can see Apple making plans to compete in this space, probably via buying their way in. Like buying the next SnapChat or what have you. iMessages is a huge success, but it's limited to only iOS/macOS owners. MS tried many times and they sort of gave up, but they are happy with their current spot of Skype and Xbox divisions.

      • AustriaBargain on 06/02/2022 - 15:11

        That's an interesting thought, if Apple finally released iMessage for Android but also turned it into a Snap/Tik/Face competitor.

        • Kangal on 06/02/2022 - 17:12
          +1

          No, iMessage is a competitor for SMS (mainstream communication).

          The likes of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tiktok are for different purposes (social entertainment). Just like LinkedIn is for a different purpose (professional networking). Twitter is something of a mix of all three, it acts as an SMS from you to the whole world, there is a bit of professional/business involved, but is largely for entertainment purposes.

          For Apple to compete for people's digital attention, they need to develop an alternative to Meta. For that, they will need to buy out an emerging competitor. MS tried to buy TikTok but failed, and I think Apple is too late to try now. So they'll have to wait for the next best thing. I think that thing could actually be a strong alternative to YouTube, but we will see.

    I don't think vr will get wide spread adoption. It'll have a small market share for a long time.

    People won't want to use it for gaming because it's too intensive. You can't play vr for 6 hours straight, but you can play xbox for 6 hours.

    Talking to virtual avatars is way less engaging than seeing the people in a live video chat.

    VR for work implementations exsit and could take off, but I'm not sure how the meta verse could profit from this segment. Business won't want adverts, so fb would only have a paas/saas platform (a market platform similar to office, but a lot smaller). But why would businesses choose Facebook instead of say an Android vr product, where you don't have to pay for fb services or be locked into fb hardware?

        Skype and Teams are used a lot.
        Facetime requires an iPhone, and you don't want to have a meeting from a phone anyway, you want to have meetings from your computer where you can share your screen.
        Don't know what Meets is.
        Zoom seems to be mainly used by clubs, organisations and regular people - I have never seen a business use it (I'm sure they do I just haven't seen it). Only Slack, Skype and Teams

    • Kikkoman56 on 06/02/2022 - 00:05

      I have generally the same opinion of VR at the moment as well, but I do still feel like there's some possibility that they manage to stumble upon the perfect timing, pricing and product experience combination that the market rapidly uptakes VR. Quest/ Quest 2 and the whole wireless experience takes a step towards that but based on my surface level impressions and brief research it doesn't look like there's enough depth to the apps and games that are available.

      I've looked into the professional side and beyond say SketchUp VR there's not a whole lot of Engineering/Design based apps. Games are also reportedly often quite short or lack a lot of depth, coming off feeling more tech-demo like.

      Maybe if they're able to hold on long enough for those apps to arrive and get the tech cheap enough for more widespread adoption they could gain a solid footing.
      But It's already nearing the 3rd iteration of the Quest, and I wouldn't be surprised if Meta/Facebook are selling the Quest unit's at cost or with not a large profit.

    • TheOtherLeft on 06/02/2022 - 10:25

      I think VR and AR will take off. It's just a slow burn. Once you get truly lightweight goggles so you don't get tired/sore then full immersive gaming and also the benefits of AR in the work environment will be huge.

          I'm not saying that there's nothing of merit in VR, or that VR doesn't have any entertaining or useful use cases.

          What I do think is that we shouldn't be trying to replace say, going out to grab a coffee with someone with VR chat rooms and interactions in Second Life/Metaverse. But it feels like that's what they're pushing for…

          • Benoffie on 06/02/2022 - 00:18

            @Kikkoman56: Exactly. I see VR being very relevant and expanding in experiences, remote tourism, accessibility, education (especially tertiary), medical, engineering, aviation etc.

            But technology as a whole - people are no longer wanting it to be a time sink and invasive. Facebook and Metaverse are both. If technology isn't creating efficiencies and providing time for real life experiences then people won't buy it.

          • lunartemis on 06/02/2022 - 08:40

            @Kikkoman56: I think VR definitely has its place especially for disabled people who are bed-ridden, immunocompromised people who can't go out without a fear of getting severely ill. Many people became mentally fatigued during the extended lockdown but these disabled people are isolated regardless and giving them opportunities to be immersed in VR to meet people and VR travel surely help them mentally.

      It will be interesting if the Metaverse attempts its own currency like Second Life did and how that will unfold. I love new technology, Metaverse is not new.

      Person 3: Can I come and collect it in 2034?
      Me: -_-

        In defense of the indefensible - facebook marketplace users:

        In the first case, they've probably messaged several sellers and picked someone else who responded faster or had a better price, or was located more conveniently or had a better item. There's no standard of courtesy saying they have to follow up with you and half a dozen others if they bought elsewhere. Sellers on marketplace are as inconsistent as buyers, so carpet-bombing requests is pragmatic if not entirely considerate.

        In the second place, Facebook marketplace is absolutely terrible at indicating where sellers are located in the search screen, and filtering by location often doesn't work, at least on mobile. I've tried to list stuff in my suburb 10km from the CBD, only for it to describe it as in "Brisbane".

        In the third case, idiots need stuff too.

      If marketplace died maybe people would migrate back to Gumtree, which is a much better designed and functional platform. Unfortunately it seems to be in decline as people sell on marketplace because they already have a FB account and don't want to sign up to gumtree.

      For me, the only redeeming quality of FB is the Marketplace. The ads on it really suck though.

    Metaverse is such a joke. It's like Mark watched Ready Player One and thought "that'll be amazing".

    What are the competitors to Facebook? Instagram (owned by then anyway) and tiktok don't have the same community discussion aspect, do they? To me they seem more like YouTube than Facebook.

      Join gab, free speech and freedom from censorship are vital to the survival of civilisations

      Main page for a guest user contains a trump post complaining about the "failing New York Times", a post saying Biden isn't the real president, anti vax post , and a bunch of GoFundMe complaints

      Thank god, because out survival as a civilisation would he lost without such quality information.

      Telegram is pretty good aswell

    • Ughhh on 06/02/2022 - 14:32

      Sounds pretty cool. Does that mean anyone can post and make up stuff about you?

      • brendanm on 06/02/2022 - 16:15

        That would be defamation. Surely you understand the difference.

        • Ughhh on 06/02/2022 - 18:27

          OK, so no free speech and freedom from censorship.

          What about posting how eating tissues may cure cancer.

          • brendanm on 06/02/2022 - 21:42

            @Ughhh: Free speech is not freedom from repercussions. You can post it, and it (maybe, I don't know their policy) won't be deleted. However, you will have to deal with what comes from your actions. I'm sure (or at least I hope) that you know this, and are simply being facetious, yet again.

            • Ughhh on 07/02/2022 - 13:24

              @brendanm: Slavvy is still here and many anti vax celebs are still making loads of money from their new found fame.
              It's OK.

              Watermelon will cure any disease you have, especially covid apparently.

              • brendanm on 07/02/2022 - 13:30

                @Ughhh: I don't know wtf you are talking about, but it sure doesn't seem to have anything to do with freedom of speech, or defamation, which is what I thought we were talking about.

    Firstly… Who do you know with a Valve Index? Second, what are their home addresses? I am conducting an anonymous survey of Index owners in Australia for statistical analysis only… Yes. That is what is happening.

  • OzHunterNSW on 06/02/2022 - 09:39

    pisst pisst… wana watch? How do they know out of 1,000 people walking down the street that I want a watch?
    Are they watching me… are they listening…. did someone tell them?

    Well, yes, you did…. and they harvested all your data.

    Shut it down… get out… stand up for your rights.

  • rektrading on 06/02/2022 - 10:02

    FB doesn't have any competitors. They have the capital and the network effect to make the Meta work.

    They joining COPA may help them buidl a better relationship with other industry leaders and its users.

        Yes, but it's still going. Meta submitted their yearly report to the SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] which states: "If a new transatlantic data transfer framework is not adopted and we are unable to continue to rely on SCCs or rely upon other alternative means of data transfers from Europe to the United States, we will likely be unable to offer a number of our most significant products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations"

    I was reading somewhere that people are paying big big $$’s for fake land in a fake game in the hopes they can sell it to other people who want to buy fake land in a fake game.

    This has NFT/beanie baby levels of stupidity written all over it. At least with crypto, I can see a use for it. Bipuyimg up virtual land and real bubble potential written all over it,

    I was reading an article where a couple has sunk their life savings into buying up massive swathes of “virtual land” inside metaverse to “secure their children’s future”
