Are there numbers down? Stocks up 20%-ish since the deleteFacebook movement.

Instagram is likely driving much of their revenue growth.
Yup pretty sure instagram will produce the next president. FB produced Obama (thanks to Obama every politician on the planet got onto social media). Twitter produced Trump. And since attention spans to read text have gone down the tube, the Russians will have to start honing their fake image skills. At the end of the day, all I want to see after Kim K gets elected, is Zuck back at a hearing explaining how fake images on Instagram are a thing nobody paid attention too cause why would we when it's doing so many positive things and keeping the company afloat.
Hmm, curious too. Are the numbers down?

I quit facebook because they kept showing peoples links I didnt care about.

It just happened to be around the same time as all of the drama.

I just dont like it anymore. Bring me back to when friends had statuses rather than links.

DAUs can be down while revenue per user is up, user data ingress (eg: users sharing/liking posts) and revenue ingress move in parallel but not in lockstep.
