        I call bullshit on those numbers.

        And if they are true, I bet it is not a lot of people in western countries. Maybe Southeast Asia and Africa, where they have convinced people that Facebook is the Internet. But most westerners have stopped that shit, and I imagine those are the more valuable numbers for advertisers. So of course they will lie to inflate their numbers to scam advertisers.

          I use FB marketplace a lot, and that shit is plagued with a constant flood of bots. It’s gotta be a significant percentage of their userbase at this point.

          when I used to use instagram, I had like 5 accounts, so yea, I should probably check again ig I forgo to delete any of the accounts, They shove down the delete button somewhere deep its so hard to find too.

            I always said this about Twitter before I left when Idiot Musk took over.

            I had like 12+ accounts. Hell, I still occasionally come across something and like “ok, I forgot I registered that funny Twitter handle.”
