Is MeWe the online equivalent of your quirky uncle who insists they’re cool, but you can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding his true colors? According to some recent discussions, it might just be!
In the latest debacle between the FTC and Meta (yes, that Facebook giant that thinks it owns the social media playground), analysts are questioning whether MeWe is truly a competitor or just a distraction—a red herring, if you will.
Carlton’s analysis suggests that when traditional powerhouses like Facebook and Instagram get taken offline, users supposedly flock to MeWe. But hold your horses! Others argue that this isn’t really the case and that MeWe is more like that dusty corner of the internet where no one really wants to hang out.
Boasberg summed it up nicely: ‘Is MeWe actually in the market, or is it just taking up space?’ Sounds like the answer might lean toward the latter. If the FTC is measuring the competition by viewing MeWe as a viable alternative, they might need to rethink their math.
So, what’s the real takeaway here? When it comes to the social media ecosystem, it’s vital to look beyond the surface. While MeWe may boast features similar to those of Meta, it’s questionable if anyone’s actually using it as a solid alternative. Perhaps it’s time to take a closer look at this ‘social network’ and determine if it’s indeed a player or just a shiny distraction.
