The number of facebook user accounts never goes down with new bots getting accounts constantly but people activty logging in and sharing, posting or caring is down.
You are suffering from confirmation bias at this point. What data apart, apart from your anecdotal experience, do you have which shows that sharing and caring about FB post is down?
You seem great at diagnosing why what we're saying doesn't make sense, but you don't have anything to back whatever your point is.
Since we don't have access to Facebook logs and can't know how many times people sign in and to what percentage are bots wandering around the site, we can only talk about our impressions.
FB earnings are up and their monthly active users are rising. That suggests that your single anecdotal experience of your friends not using fb is incorrect.
Also, OP was the first one to make the assertion that fb is losing users and thus the onus falls on him to prove vs. me trying to disprove it.
I know it is not the answer you want to hear but FB is doing well in terms of their user growth. Get over it.
I don't have a dog in the fight, I'm just pointing out you are both trying to back up assertions with no direct data. Facebook earnings could easily be from increased from ads even over decreased users. And users increasing doesn't really tell me if that's up or down from previous.
