That is funny, I like statistics. Like, how can you compare a
virtually contentless and worthless (in the sense of future-proofness)
social network to a content carrying service network? Obviously they
can.

I mean, Facebook grows slower than bacteria in the Amasonas rain
forests, I'm sure they're very worried about that. And the amount of
snowflakes in the Arctic, it's much more than the number of FB profile
pictures. Worrying.

(I cannot just come up anything on facebook providing any value after
a few hours it's been posted. Even "likes" for a business are of
questionnable value, to put it in the mildest tone.)

But I understand your long standing, almost traditional worry about
Wikipedia's future. ;-)
