Don’t Want to Use Facebook Anymore? Try These Alternatives
Have you ever wanted to delete Facebook but you were just unsure that you would find other alternatives worth your time?
I know the feeling.
Facebook is by far the largest social networking site in the world with over 2 billion monthly active users on average, and with reported 5 new profiles created on the site every second.
And this is all for a good reason, Facebook is fun to use as you can engage in numerous activities on the site such as like and share pictures, watch videos, post selfies, comment on other people’s posts and so much more.
But the only downside of the massive social network Facebook is the fact that it doesn’t really respect its users’ privacy.
Facebook sells your personal information
Facebook makes the vast majority of its revenue from advertising. In just 2017 alone, Facebook has generated over $39.9 billion from advertising.
Advertisers and companies from around the world are using the Facebook advertising platform for one primary reason: targeting.
Since Facebook constantly collects personal data and knows so much about its users, advertisers can easily reach users who are interested in their products and services better than most other advertising platforms online.
Facebook’s business model revolves around collecting their users’ data, invading their privacy, and selling their personal data to advertisers to generate revenue.
With that said, many people are just fine with that, and others accept that fact only because they can’t find any other social media platform like Facebook.
But is that really the case?
Believe it or not, till this day there are people who don’t have (or have deleted) their Facebook account, but they’re on other social media platforms and apps, it seems that not everyone likes to use Facebook.
So without further ado, here are some great alternatives to Facebook…
