Facebook Numbers Fall As Hated New ‘Timeline’ Feature Drives Down Ad Revenues
Facebook Timeline: The Ford Edsel of Social Media. Will Mark Zuckerberg, who was smart enough to create Facebook, be able to swallow enough of his ego to either fix or scrap Timeline? Will he even acknowledge that Timeline is the main, over-arching reason why people are using Facebook less?
Facebook’s Epic Fail

Regular users to Facebook have long been used to the regular updates and changes made to the system by the developers. Some of the changes we bristled at, but most were very good and a needed forward step in the code’s evolution. But then, somewhere in a string of unbroken successes, Facebook built the social media equivalent of the doomed Ford Edsel. Welcome to the Facebook Timeline.
For many years, Mark Zuckerberg and his myriad developers toiled long and hard and produced one grand-slam home run after another. They tinkered and poked and prodded, and in the process created a seemingly unsinkable social media revenue stream. Then the iceberg they call Timeline reared it’s (very) ugly head off the starboard bow. So what is, you ask, the problem with the new Facebook Timeline? The major complaints that we have received are as follows:
Complaint #1: Timeline is a resource hog. Pre-Timeline Facebook pages loaded very quickly and easily. They were laid out in an eye-pleasing and straight-forward style. Graphics and banners were kept to a minimum. The Facebook smart phone app worked the same way. Simple, easy and fast. But in the Timeline code, which breaks out into layers ALL your activity since you first created the account, everything has to load before the page is all in. For people on lower-level broadband – 6-12mbps – this is an agonizing process. We run NTEB at 24mbps and it is scarcely better. Now, for people using DLS, their pages crash so often they usually get frustrated and ‘x’ out of the site. The official Facebook iPhone app gets so overworked attempting to load the Timeline that using it is nearly impossible. We have deleted it off of our smart phones as it is functionally unusable.
Complaint #2: Timeline is horrible for fan pages. Pre-Timeline fan pages were laid out in a nice, easy-to-read tabloid style. Posts were displayed like how you read a newspaper, with the newest posts on top. Perfect. Timeline takes that simple perfection and quarantines all fan posts into a Timeline jail box on the right-hand side which makes finding new posts a chore, and segregates page owners from page users. The net effect of this is that no one, admin and posters alike, can find where anything is, and even after they know where it is, it is no fun reading it. Timeline is like timeout. Now, for some unexplained reason, group pages retain the old tabloid style that worked so well.
Complaint #3: Nothing works right. Nothing about Timeline works right. There is no logical flow, so you can’t find how to manage or change it’s features. It is so bug-filled that after the 3rd or 4th time it crashes you just close the page and go see what’s new on Drudge Report. (Note To Self, Mark…this is the OPPOSITE of a good effect.). Every attempt we made to read an email through the Safari web browser on our iPhones ended in a 100% failure rate. Timeline + Smart Phones = Rubbish.
The Net Effect
Our little NTEB Facebook page has just about 30,000 fans, which we think is a very respectable amount of fans for a page to have. We had steady upticks in new members and post activity every month since we launched in December 2009. But since Timeline was rolled out, things have slowed down considerably. People don’t like not being able to find their posts, so they post less. They don’t like be segregated to the Timeline jail, so they post less. Less posting means less people joining new pages because they don’t like Timeline.
I personally know lots of people now that hate Timeline so much that they deactivate their profiles for months at a time. I have never seen that happen in all the years that I have been on Facebook. This is a very real, very serious issue that Mr. Zuckerberg and Company need to address, and that right quick.
Please note the following story from the New York Post: “Facebook posted its first-ever quarter-over-quarter revenue decline in the first three months of the year — despite its best efforts to bolster its ad business ahead of its upcoming public offering. Or as one analyst put it: Its most important quarter ever, blown. Mark Zuckerberg’s social network saw revenue slip to $1.06 billion in the latest quarter from $1.3 billion in the last three months of 2011, according to a regulatory filing yesterday. Facebook’s first-quarter revenue a year ago was level with the holiday quarter at $731 million. “Your first-ever drop,” said Sam Hamadeh, CEO of research firm PrivCo. “That’s the last thing investors need to see before your IPO.” source – NY Post
What our readers think of Timeline:
- S Michael Hauserman “Can’t stand the timeline! If it wasn’t for chatting with friends in other states I’d be outta here!”
- Denise Baker “Im praying mine doesnt go to timeline…..or Im off also.”
- Lynn Koskey “Not on it yet, thank goodness. I don’t like it at all!”
- Carolyn Shuford “DONT KNOW ANYONE THAT DOES LIKE IT …SO PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS..”
- Donnie Breland “Good. Maybe the people “In Charge” will hear the money leaving the bank accounts if they haven’t heard our voices.”
- Daniel Sheffield Sr. “Timeline SUCKS!”
- J’ne Coykendall “HATE.IT.”
- Maria Sekar “Wrote to Mark Zuckerberg about Timeline, no response. I will not use FB as often because I do not like Timeline. I still have the old one.”
- Mindy Lanier “It should have been a choice. There should have been a way to remove it for the ones who dont like it. Its to much clutter and just makes no sense!”
- Linda Baker Harbison “I detest the new Timeline. Too much work to read a person’s profile page and the pics are too big, right up in your face! If they kick me over to it, I’m 90% sure I’m off here.”
So there you have it. The question is this – will Mark Zuckerberg, who was smart enough to create Facebook, be able to swallow enough of his ego to either fix or scrap Timeline? Will he even acknowledge that Timeline is the main, over-arching reason why people are using Facebook less?
Time will tell…stay tuned.

Censorship
Meta Boss Zuckerberg Admits To Colluding With The Biden-Harris Administration To Censor And Stifle American’s Right To Free Speech On Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg finally admitted that the Biden-Harris Admin pressured Facebook to censor what Americans could and could not post to Facebook
Let me take you back to the early days of the gain-of-function Pandemic, where all across social media something was taking place that could only rightly be called the Purge. Yes, the Hunter Biden laptop suppression was the anchor story at the time, but it was far from the only example of censorship. Facebook and Twitter were acting on the orders of the Biden-Harris administration, to remove, block and permanently unpublish anyone and everyone who dared speak the truth about the Wuhan virus or the gene editing ‘vaccine’. NTEB had a decade-old Facebook page with just under 250,000 followers that was unpublished for telling the truth.
“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14 (KJB)
Mark Zuckerberg lit up social media yesterday in his admission that they colluded with the Biden-Harris administration to censor posts about the Hunter Biden laptop, but so what? The suppression of that story was a mere fraction of the mountain of suppression wreaked by Zuckerberg on Facebook and Jack Dorsey on Twitter. Just about everything that was censored by the government and social media turned out to be true. COVID was engineered in a lab, it was intentionally released, the lockdown was all planned out to destroy the economy, the vaccine actually killed millions of people, and the list goes on and on. So Zuckerberg wants to admit to stopping the Biden Laptop story? Big deal, no, make that a plea deal.
One more thing. A vote for Comrade Kamala and her Richard Simmons-esque vice president pick Walz is a guarantee that the Gestapo-like levels of censorship we all endured during the Pandemic will remain firmly in place until at least 2028. If Mark Zuckerberg was truly repentant for what he has done to stop free speech, he would immediately order all unpublished pages to be put back up.
Zuckerberg Admits Facebook Killed Hunter Biden Laptop Story After FBI ‘Warned’ of ‘Russian Disinformation’
FROM BREITBART NEWS: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Facebook killed the Hunter Biden laptop story after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) “warned” of a “potential Russian disinformation operation,” and acknowledged that it “shouldn’t have demoted the story.”
In a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg wrote that after being warned by the FBI about a possible “Russian disinformation operation” regarding President Joe Biden’s family, Facebook went on to kill an article from the New York Post.
Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things:
1. Biden-Harris Admin “pressured” Facebook to censor Americans.
2. Facebook censored Americans.
3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Big win for free speech. pic.twitter.com/ALlbZd9l6K
— House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOP) August 26, 2024
In response to the article about “corruption allegations” about the Biden family, Facebook “sent that story to fact-checkers” and had it “temporarily demoted.”
“It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story,” Zuckerberg added. “We’ve changed our policies and processes to make sure this doesn’t happen again — for instance, we no longer temporarily demote things in the U.S. while waiting for fact-checkers.”
Zuckerberg’s admission comes after Breitbart News Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris has previously testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that the FBI had knowledge that the Hunter Biden laptop was real prior to December 2019, long before she had published a story about it in October 2020.
The Meta CEO explained that the FBI had “warned” about a possible “Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family,” and after seeing a New York Post article about “corruption allegations” involving the Biden family, the company “demoted” it. READ MORE

At Online Child Sexual Exploitation Crisis Hearing, Mark Zuckerberg Apologizes For Children’s Lives Destroyed Through Facebook And Instagram
Mark Zuckerberg saw his wealth balloon even as lawsuits revealed the horrific depths of child sexual abuse and grooming occurring on Facebook and Instagram.
In the summer of 2021, Facebook began the process of unpublishing the page NTEB had had there for over a decade, seems that we had committed wrongs that could not be forgiven, the technical term for this is deplatforming. What kinds of things did we publish to make Mark Zuckerberg issue the call for our removal through his policies and ‘community standards’? We told them how to boost their God-given immune systems instead of relying on Anthony Fauci and his potions, we told people not to take untested and unproven gene editing technologies, and we warned against child exploitation and sex trafficking. Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg ‘apologized’ to outraged parents whose children had their lives forever ruined on his social media, I’m sure that was of great consolation to them.
“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” Mark 9:42 (KJB)
While all this was happening, the aggregate wealth of Meta and their subsidiaries like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp increased by a whopping $239 million per day. I wonder how many human souls that type of growth is built on, how many lives of children were sacrificed to hit those numbers? Only God knows, but He does know, and one day will avenge accordingly. NTEB has lost many social media accounts due to our unflinching reporting on the evil of social media companies and will continue to do so. For as long as we can, we will intentionally plunder their kingdom by using their platform to expose them and preach the gospel to the captives.
Mark Zuckerberg’s Wealth Grew $84 Billion in 2023 as Pedophiles Target Children on Facebook, Instagram
FROM BREITBART NEWS: Yahoo Finance reports that Zuckerberg’s financial growth translates to about $9.6 million per hour or $230.6 million daily in 2023. This surge aligns with Meta’s strategic pivot towards the metaverse, focusing on virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies. However, this transition wasn’t without its challenges, as the company faced issues with misinformation and user retention. Breitbart News reported on Zuckerberg’s appearance at a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing where he apologized to the families of children whose lives were ruined by his companies’ products after a grilling by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO).
Sen. Hawley first lambasted Zuckerberg for taking little to no action to protect children on Facebook and Instagram, and then grilled him on why the billionaire and his company haven’t offered compensation to victims and their families.
Sen. Hawley then changed tactics. He said:
There are families of victims here today. Have you apologized to victims? Would you to do so now? They’re here, you are on national victims. Would you like now to apologize to victims who have been harmed by your products? Show him the pictures. Would you like to apologize to these good people?
“I’m sorry for everything you’ve all gone through,” Zuckerberg said at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on “Big Tech and the Online Child Sexual Exploitation Crisis.” He added, “It’s terrible. No one should have to go through the things that your families have suffered.”
The parents Zuckerberg addressed have claimed that social media, particularly Instagram, contributed to their children’s suicide or exploitation. Many wore blue ribbons reading “STOP Online Harms! Pass KOSA!” — a reference to proposed legislation aimed at enhancing protections for kids online.
Despite this, Meta’s stock price has largely rebounded this year. Zuckerberg’s personal investment portfolio is not limited to technology. He recently made headlines with his luxurious Kauai, Hawaii compound, Koolau Ranch, spanning over 1400 acres and featuring high-end amenities, including a 5000-square-foot bunker and over 30 bedrooms and bathrooms.

Mark Zuckerberg apologizes to families of social media victims at Senate hearing
In a dramatic moment on Capitol Hill, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, at Sen. Josh Hawley’s urging, stood up and apologized to the family members of children who had been harmed by social media. Zuckerberg is testifying before a Senate panel with the CEOs of other social media platforms about child exploitation and safety.

End Times
THE ZUCKERBUNKER: Social Media Tycoon Mark Zuckerberg Building Massive Underground Fortress In Hawaii To Prepare For The Apocalypse
They call it the Zuckerbunker, the brainchild of billionaire Mark Zuckerberg to turn an idyllic Hawaiian island into a fortified compound to defend against the apocalypse. Will it work?
Someone once said, when remarking about the wealth of the Gilded Age tycoons, John D. Rockefeller was so poor that all he had was money. That’s not Bible but the book of Ecclesiastes talks a lot about that very subject. Mark Zuckerberg is one of those people, worth billions of dollars but completely bankrupt spiritually, and all his doomsday preparations won’t save him from the wrath which is to come, and indeed is almost here. Salvation is the one thing his money cannot buy.
“Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.” James 5:1-3 (KJB)
So let’s talk about the Zuckerbunker for a moment, the timing of it is quite suspicious. On the last two Prophecy News Podcasts, we talked about the likelihood of a second Civil War happening in America, and the spate of new movies that deal with that very subject. One is called ‘Leave The World Behind’, produced by former 2-term US president and current ‘basement president’ of the Biden administration, and the other called simply ‘Civil War’ due in April of 2024. It is in the midst of all this that Mark Zuckerberg is frantically working to complete his massive Zuckerbunker compound called Koolau Ranch on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. What does he know that we don’t know? Zuckerberg is not the only tech billionaire building bunkers, nearly all of them are doing it. It’s funny that these tech titans see themselves are the creators of a brave, new world, yet have prepared hiding places for themselves for what they think they know is coming when that new world goes bad. It’s what they don’t know is coming that they should be preparing themselves for.
Bizarre Leaked Features Of Mark Zuckerberg’s Secret Zuckerbunker
FROM SLASH GEAR: The most striking thing about Mark Zuckerberg’s megalomaniacal maze of mammoth mansions and subterranean structures isn’t that it exists but how hard the billionaire worked to conceal it from the public. One Kauai architect compared Zuckerberg’s ambitions to those of ancient kings who killed their architects to preserve palatial secrets, while those on-site have compared the project to top-secret military installations and the fight club from the movie “Fight Club.”
Nevertheless, it was impossible to hide a construction project of this scale from the Hawaiian locals, who retain a tight-knit community. Despite a significant portion of the island being bound by NDAs, knowledge of the bunker spread along the local grapevine. Some speculate that Zuckerberg intends the facility as a doomsday bunker, which may explain the blast-resistant door and underground shelter with concrete-reinforced metal — more on that later. It would also explain the compound’s self-sufficient water and power systems, as well as the on-site agricultural operations.

Like those building pyramids for the pharaohs or soccer stadiums for the World Cup, workers on the Zuckerbunker have fallen victim to injury and death. A 53-year-old crane operator was hospitalized after his crane tumbled down a hill, and a 70-year-old security guard died after becoming stranded on a rainy beach and succumbing to a heart attack. The guard’s family alleged in a wrongful death suit that there was an attempt to cover up information related to the incident.

In the movie “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” a tech billionaire, played by Edward Norton, builds a sprawling compound on a remote private island. The movie is a satire of the hubris displayed by modern billionaires. Yet, the compound built by Norton’s character pales in comparison to that currently being erected in Hawaii by Mark Zuckerberg. Norton’s character might have kept the “Mona Lisa” on his island paradise. Still, according to WIRED, Zuckerberg’s Koolau Ranch has more than a dozen buildings comprising 30 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, two mansions, offices, conference rooms, elevators, and an industrial kitchen to keep everyone fed.
If you’re going to build a Bond villain-esque secret hideout on an island, you might as well go whole hog on the concept. Sure, you could put normal doors on it like a normal person, but where’s the fun in that? According to WIRED, Mark Zuckerberg equipped his sprawling Kauai headquarters with a variety of hidden doors, blast doors, and other high-tech entrances.
The door to the bunker’s underground bomb shelter is the most bizarre of all. It is comprised of a metal shell filled with concrete, making it resistant to explosions. Other doors around the complex are designed to be soundproof, adding another layer of mystery to the entire operation. READ MORE
Is this what the Zuckerbunker is being built for?
Mark Zuckerberg’s compound on Kauai will have more than a dozen buildings with two central mansions connected by a tunnel that leads to a 5,000-sq. ft. underground shelter with an escape hatch. The Zuckerbunker will be a great place to ride out the coming civil war.
