Global Facebook interest dropped 90%: Media reports say that there has been an 87% drop in people searching for the term “Facebook” over the past decade.
Aging users, a growing disinterest in Facebook, and the rise of TikTok are all to blame for a drop in global Facebook searches, according to Banklesstimes.com.
Facebook doesn’t seem to be able to get people under 30 to sign up for the service. The social media site has lost popularity with teenagers and young adults across its main markets, even though it changed its name to Meta. There were 1.93 billion daily users in Q3 of 2021, but that number fell to 1.929 billion in Q4.

iPhone users must permit apps to track them at a user level and with their device IDs.
Advertisers who rely on Facebook to keep their businesses afloat have been shaken by the news, even though many people haven’t shared this information with everyone.
TikTok is so popular because it costs less per 1,000 views than Facebook.
So, Facebook has lost $10 billion in advertising money. The figure is almost 9% of the company’s revenue for 2021. As a quarter of its annual profit, this is important, the report said.
