Facebook Usage Falling after Privacy Scandals, Data Suggest:
Facebook usage has plummeted over the last year, according to data seen by the Guardian, though the company says usage by other measures continues to grow.
Since April 2018, the first full month after news of the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke in the Observer, actions on Facebook such as likes, shares and posts have dropped by almost 20%, according to the business analytics firm Mixpanel.
Taking that month as a baseline, total actions fell by more that 10% within a month, recovered a bit over the summer and then fell again over the autumn and winter of 2018, except for a brief rally over the period of the US midterm elections.

Don't blame the investors.
Firstly, they are just out to make a buck.
Secondly, they have recently tried to kick the zuck out.
Don't hate them. Cheer them. Cheer them on.
