    how are there still so many people on meta?

    People in developing countries have Facebook as their default internet destination, sometimes it is even the internet encapsulated, as it literally combines almost all the online services that are normally separate; they go there for their daily entertainment, news, and socializing fix.

      The Philippines are one. Those stupid sad fuckers can’t get off it to save their lives. And Facebook subsidizes it for them to be on it all day.

        Facebook in Philippines is literally free to use even for those without mobile data. However, people there don’t realise they are the product. Or worse, they don’t realise they are guinea pigs for social engineering by techno-industrial complex.
