Summary

Facebook Is DYING And Taking Buzzfeed Down With It. With Facebook's loss of millennial users to Instagram young people are sharing less and this means digital sites that cater to woke young people are losing traffic and in turn ad revenue. At the same time Facebook deranked publisher content just about a year ago and it hasn't fared well for these outlets.Since the start of 2019 we have seen 2,300 media layoffs mostly at woke and far left media. It would seem in all likelihood that these sites were built off of leftist outrage and as Facebook ceases to cater to them and loses the audience it takes out leftist media with it.
