IPO redundancy?

The section Initial public offering (IPO) seems to roughly cover the same material as section IPO in article History of Facebook and at roughly the same amount of detail. Shouldn't it be collected in one place? --Mortense (talk) 20:17, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Chart of the stock is missing

Look at the subject. 87.79.115.13 (talk) 13:33, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

I think the chart of stock is missing because of the incline in sex offenders and other convicts applying foraccounts on facebook. Parents are traking down on their childrens social network sites to protect their children. This is the reason the stocks are falling in value...gugugoioio — Steven Johnson Saj1997 (talk) 19:01, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Revenue

According to BizReport.com, Facebook's low CTR is because Facebook users are more technologically savvy and therefore use ad blocking software to hide advertisements, users are younger and therefore better at ignoring advertising messages, users spend their time communicating with friends and therefore have their attention diverted away from advertisements.

Why even include such a bullshit in the article? It's obviously false --- in US who doesn't use Facebook? Non-saavy people. That's just an obviously false statement, and including this nonsense discredits Wikipedia. 62.221.56.166 (talk) 16:58, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

The cause of Facebook's low CTR has been attributed to younger users enabling ad blocking software and being better at ignoring advertising messages, as well as the site being used more for the purpose of social communication as opposed to viewing content.[37]

I see somebody changed it to a newer version of bs. I'm sure that person doesn't know what age groups use Facebook and what age groups use Internet. Someone, please, delete that, cause I'm out of patience of cutting out the same crap over and over again. 62.221.56.166 (talk) 20:46, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Again I see "The cause of Facebook's low CTR has been attributed to younger users enabling ad blocking software and being better at ignoring advertising messages, as well as the site being used more for the purpose of social communication as opposed to viewing content.[37]" - Total bs. When you're saying "low", you're comparing. You've just talked about MySpace. Does it have another demographics? No. Guys, please, erase this crap. 62.221.56.166 (talk) 21:46, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Breaking up is hard to do

It doesn't appear this topic is covered. This isn't news so much as an opinion, but I found one source that mentions the topic.

I have access right now, but won't at home, to

Dumenco, Simon, "BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO: Facebook is too powerful for inept American politicians and regulators. Let's just leave this to the Europeans", Advertising Age: Chicago, Vol. 89, Iss. 12, (May 28, 2018): 38.

If anyone else can read the same article (it is more than a year old but i'm behind schedule), how should the content in the article be included in Wikipedia?

Here's a quote to give you an idea: "The idea of breaking up Facebook was echoed last week [May 2018] in Europe, as Mark Zuckerberg continued his ongoing apology tour ..." — Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 23:39, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Final sentence of article intro

So yeah the final sentence says: The company generates substantially all of its revenue by selling advertisement placements to marketers.[10]

To get up to standards for an encyclopedia it should read: The company generates (a substantial amount of/the entirety of) its revenue by selling advertising services to marketers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.177.151.198 (talk) 03:37, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
