One of our most recent video reports!
See the original article below:
Josh Sigurdson talks with author and economic analyst John Sneisen about the massive stock wipeout Facebook saw on Thursday the 26th of July.
The stock crash Facebook saw in one day was the worst stock crash in American history! Shares tumbled 19%. The company lost $119.4 BILLION in one day!
Facebook's Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg lost $16 billion of his own money as well!
No one's surprised by the direction Facebook is heading in. As Facebook restricts individuals from sharing certain news with people, as they bring in Snopes to manage their news, as they block people from seeing business pages, telling people that they know you would prefer seeing posts from family as if they know what's best for us, it's a no brainer that Facebook is heading down fast.
Zuckerberg even said earlier this year that he understands Facebook will lose money as Facebook largely only shows posts from families and not news sites, but that it's "good for the public's psychology." How virtuous...
Facebook saw a rather large stock wipe out in March after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, but was soon after rejuvenated.
Still, Facebook is slowly but surely going the way of MySpace. It is incredibly overvalued alongside sites like Twitter as we see a tech bubble become completely unstable, up over 600% since 2008.
Will we see Facebook fall from grace SOON? Well, it's not likely the end of Facebook yet, they probably have quite a few years ahead of them but they are getting more and more authoritative with their customers. They've gotten billions in subsidies from the government over the years and people are naturally as always decentralizing.
Where are people going? Well there are lots of alternatives to Facebook. A great example is Steemit and DTube. These are incredible, largely decentralized websites where people can actually make money on the blockchain by posting. They cannot be censored. They can be downvoted, but their posts cannot be deleted. It's far more about the demand of the individual on the free market.
Humanity always decentralizes whether they know it or not because people do not like to be told what to do or told what they like and dislike. People do not like to be lead and manipulated. The decentralized blockchain alternatives stand to be great ways to separate ourselves from the incredibly demanding, watchful eye of the state through an apparatus like Facebook.
Stay tuned as we continue to follow this issue!

Yes, I noticed the news and that combined with the Alex Jones purge, is great news for STEEM.
By the way (OT), do you know that bethehouse.online (Zethr) is pumping? It could be the beginning of a longer bull run / activity boost in this revolutionary smart contract.

In my opinion the powers that be devalued Facebook to pressure them into playing along with the governments/deep states information censorship agenda.

I never understood why so many people bought Facebook stock. What kind of real $ does Facebook generate? I knew it was overvalued.
Hopefully this will wake some people up and get some more people to quit Facebook and come here to Steemit.
Josh, you seem to have some connections. I dunno if you have ever spoken to Alex Jones or not, but if you have any contacts with him, or with people that know him, you should try to convince him to join Steemit! Imagine how much of a benefit Alex Jones could be for the Steemit community!

What kind of money does facebook generate... "Facebook profit hits an all-time high, unaffected by recent scandals " Facebook profit hits an all-time high, unaffected by recent scandals — so far. ... On Wednesday, Facebook said its first-quarter revenue, which is dominated by advertising, grew by 49 percent to $12 billion. Net profit jumped 65 percent from the same period a year earlier to a record $4.9 billion.

did they really think that they could continue to treat people the way they did and not expect people to leave and their value to drop. This is just the start.

What "experts" don't seem to understand is that we aren't complete morons. We don't like being babied. We don't like being deceived. And like most 4 year-olds, we can tell when this kind of thing is happening. Facebook and Youtube's days are numbered now that they've crossed the line. Soon these will be the MSNBC of social media.

It is great to see the free market strike against these centralized control platforms. I hope this will accelerate the adoption of alternatives like Steem. Nice to see you mentioning Smart Media Tokens as well. It would be awesome to see go deeper into that topic. I see the potential for SMTs is absolutely mind boggling. When we meet again at the next Anarchapulco I hope we can discuss this as I am bringing out my own SMT.
