Facebook crushed earnings and the stock is up a little bit in the after hours. Everyone loves Mark Zuckerberg for creating the world’s best spy site, preferred by law enforcement officials everywhere. I get it and I’m not going to impugn his achievements, other than suggest his claim that nearly 2 billion people use $FB on a monthly basis is wholesale horseshit.
EPS: $1.41 per share vs. $1.31 per share, adjusted, expected by a Thomson Reuters consensus estimate
Revenue: $8.81 billion vs. $8.51 billion expected by Reuters
Monthly active users (MAUS): 1.96 billion vs. 1.83 billion expected by StreetAccount
Daily active users (DAUs): 1.23 billion vs. 1.19 billion expected by StreetAccount
Does anyone else think this is bullshit, or is it just me? Most of the world’s population can’t find food to eat this evening and you mean to tell me they’re facebooking that — maybe perhaps snapping photos of empty dinner plates?
If two billion people are using Facebook, approximately 25% of the world’s population, then I have an oil well to sell you in Brooklyn.
They’re bots and pet accounts — dead people and scams. The fuck out of with this shit.

I can’t stand Cuckberg.
“Cuckerberg” sounds better. #justsaying
Bullshit
Although those numbers sound suspect, I will say this. I’ve been to some of the poorest countries in the world… no plumbing, cars, AC, hot water, very little nutritious food…
Everyone has a cell phone and most have a poor man’s “smartphone.” It’s kind of hard to understand but it may be their way of participating (by observation) in a western world they will never see except on FB (they don’t have TVs).
If you can’t have the real thing, dreaming about and watching it from afar may be the next best thing…

Wait a minute. Fake News from Facefuck? No way.
Fake news? http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/
Dude. Would fuck a street whore in Tijuana with obvious sores before reading that shit.
Squeeze a lemon wedge on them bitches’ cunts and if they bounce off the roof, don’t do them!
lol !
Well shit, if politifact says he’s the biggest liar of the year, then it must be true. How does one even quantify who the biggest liar of the year is? Benny, you are brainwashed my man. Consider reading different sources and then using your critical thinking skills to see if the narrative holds up. It will free you from your faux intellectual cage. Nothing funnier than partisans just regurgitating whatever their partisan news source told them earlier that day. So obvious when it happens. Hearing liberals like you regurgitate what you heard on CNN and MSNBC earlier is like being an olympic swimmer and having dipshits wearing floaties walk up to you all day trying to give you tips on your backstroke. Would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.
Go ahead, go on and tell me how informed you really are and how you were about top of your class at an ivy league school and all about your prestigious degree in social work. Go get em tiger, stick it to the man.
Can’t stand his whiney face, either. And yes, definitely bullshit. I have one real account and several fake ones. I suppose they count that as several people. I don’t even log into my real one unless someone asks me to and couldn’t tell you what my fake account names are at this point. Who cares, just set up a new fake address i never intend to check and a FB account to go with it. Rinse, repeat.
Didn’t they recent have to correct the way they count something? Who is to say this isn’t way wrong too.
… and they think he should run for president…
Some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That’s about one in nine people on earth. The vast majority of the world’s hungry people live in developing countries, where 12.9 percent of the population is undernourished.
25% of the population of the planet could easily have a facebook account. I visited the middle of nowhere in the jungles and mountains of Panama last summer. Only one computer in a town with hundreds of people. Satellite connection. Everyone under 40 has a facebook page.
Most people live in cities. Most people have phones. Just because you deleted your facebook does not mean everyone else did.
And 7 of the the remaining 8 are fat as fuck, filling their pie holes with Big Macs and Pepsi. Most are using food stamps to buy cake mix and kool aid at the grocery store to feed the 5 kids they can’t support.
I’m sorry. I had no idea we had a racist working here. I apologize most sincerely.
Take your race baiting minion ass back to your pimp. Gotta love you fucking jackasses. Ever been to a ghetto before? They are all fucking obese other than the ones picked on or smoking crack. Wake up.
Truth!
geez, not a watcher of british comedy i suppose?
7 out of 8 people on the planet are not on food stamps captain genius. I never fail to be amused with the stupidity level in this place.
so what are you doing here troll?
being amused… I literally just wrote that in the comment you responded to
Never fails.
(((Peaches)))
Let’s assume 3.5b people are using internets. If Fb is claiming 2b are ‘active users’ then that means of all the people with Internet, 60% of them are facebooking their buddies.
Really? I mean, really?
Speaking of facts, there’s also the unfortunate aspect that FB is banned in China, Iran, Bangladesh, Egypt , Vietnam and several other nations.
So where are the users coming from? Prove to me I’m wrong.
Pro tip: you can’t.
Facebook was blocked for a few days in Egypt during the 2011 Egyptian protests.
Not now
The Bangladesh Government lifted the ban on 20 December 2015 after about 22 days only
Not now
Iran facebook ban was lifted in 2013.
Facebook was blocked in Vietnam for 2 weekends in May 2016 due to protest of Vi?t Tân.
Facts!
I think I just proved you wrong jack-ass
Fake news. Of course. Will NYSE quotes become fake news soon also??
(((fuck you)))
Fucking idiot

I did not mention anything about China. China is banned. The other 4 countries you mentioned are not. Except for Iran, those bans were temporary.
Fucking nazi idiot.
there’s also the fact of the wrong official amount of humans overpopulating this here 3rd stone from the sun
official fake news stats put the number at around 7.3 billion while real news stats put it around 8.7 bill
where can I get these “real” news stats?
Re: middle of nowhere in Panama- I wonder how Facebook executives answer the question of user disposable income? I’ve never clicked on an ad or purchased any online product that was pushed to me without my prior interest.
Can’t argue with Facebook’s great revenue numbers though. I think advertising customers are frequently well informed of audience demographics. How often do they know their ROI on a particular advertising buy?
In 2015, the International Telecommunication Union estimated about 3.2 billion people, or almost half of the world’s population, would be online by the end of the year. Of them, about 2 billion would be from developing countries, including 89 million from least developed countries.

Who downvotes a fact posted with a link to verify it?
Fucking morons
Peaches,
HAHAHHA , facts? How about you ask the fucked face union about how attractive they think fucked faces are? Shocker: the fucked face union just did a survey and 100% of fucked faces believe that fucked faces deserve more pussy………profound. Come on dipshit, what did you expect the “international telecommunications union” to say? Lliterally, their entire purpose for existing is based upon the hope that more people will use telecommunications. Do you ask telemarketers for their objective opinion about their product or service too? Fuck ur dumb, it almost makes my head hurt trying to comprehend how someone like you could be condescending and a dipshit (“life challenged” for the snowflakes) at the same time.
Well then genius, feel free to provide an alternative fact?
I am sincerely sorry for the facts Fly. I know you guys hate that shit.
Just remember on Facebook, your the product. The soylent green of our times.
Active users
LP- Active users (that can be monetized) is exactly the point.
Peaches a.k.a Yolo Wolf is back. Will probably hit us up with a go-fund me site next.
An “active user” is someone who shoots up at least twice a day. It has nothing to do with the Internet.
