Just to add some context, overall up 20%+ first quarter over prior year Q1. Granted flat in the first world and I could believe a small net loss but I don't see it in these numbers.
I'm sure FB does their best to lean on their metrics and spin the best story but at the end of the day they are publicly traded and those charts are not too ambiguous.
But sure, some of those accounts are fake every year. So a nearly flat gain in the US/Canada could well be a loss in actual humans using the service like they are meant to. I don't have a FB account myself because reasons and so I'm sympathetic to the idea that they may have peaked. Just wanted to give some balance.
Global churn affects your userbase when you have a userbase as insanely massive as Facebook's.
Also, according to all statistics, Facebook has actually been GROWING. They have 1.11 billion users now compared to less than 1 billion last year. Something like a 26% growth if I recall.
Come on people, there are only a finite number of internet connected human beings on this planet. Growth HAS to slow down at some point. They're not gonna double their userbase YoY if they already have over 1bn people on their service....that'd literally be impossible.
