It’s more insidious than dead internet theory. Imagine any significant social media platform containing a large proportion of users that can be directly prompted to tout any message, or mass downvote opinions that the company doesn’t like. All this can happen while the company claims to be a “free speech platform”.
Them and alot of Millenials unfortunately, I quit FB about 9 years ago and when ever I run into someone I know they always wonder why I'm not on FB anymore.
3 billion registered accounts is not the same as 3 billion individual active users. Most people don’t delete their account when they stop using a platform.

Like some kind of necromancer and their army of undead.

To be fair: The boomers still crawling on Facebook can be considered dead in some way.

Speedrunning the Dead Internet theory.
Wait, what? They are planning on doing that?That's crazy
why would that even be beneficial for Facebook?
Because they’re reaching a point where the amount and quality of user generated content is not enough to retain the remaining users.
they have 3 billion users though??
