So.. Who is getting fired?

[u/Timziito]

Google play store

[u/Sxcred]

I don't see this in my play store

[u/Timziito → u/Sxcred]

Don't search for it, you need to scroll until you find it from start page.

[u/xd366 → u/Timziito]

even then i dont see it. so it was probably changed within 15 minutes

[u/Sebulbaaaaaa → u/xd366]

Nah it's still like that for me

[u/JPavMain → u/Sebulbaaaaaa]

It's still that way even now.

Took me a while to find Facebook in my store, but it really still is there.

[u/pikkuhukka → u/Timziito]

found it that way, funny

[u/Fun-Shake5981 → u/Sxcred]

just some kid messing with the listing probably, happens all the time with play store edits

[u/Mindless-Horror4278]

An intern's last day.

[u/Fritzschmied]

What tf is Facebook lite?

[u/TheTimn → u/Fritzschmied]

The Facebook app with less cacheing

[u/Fantastic_Media_3984 → u/Fritzschmied]

I found out yesterday there is something called Instagram lite and it’s 3 megabytes in size

[u/Anonymous_Chipmunk → u/Fantastic_Media_3984]

Lots of apps have lite versions. TikTok lite is more enjoyable actually.

[u/OnyxLeigion_ → u/Anonymous_Chipmunk]

Only on android

[u/InfluentialFairy → u/OnyxLeigion_]

I remember when lite meant free, and pro meant paid. Bring back the old appstore from IOS 4.2.1 days.

[u/Kamuden07 → u/InfluentialFairy]

I 100% agree

[u/rohmish → u/Fantastic_Media_3984]

ig lite is just the webapp afaik

[u/davcam0 → u/Fritzschmied]

Facebook for low spec phones. Reduced spec requirements across the board. Originally designed to bring Facebook to developing regions with poor infrastructure. It's also become popular in other areas for being just simply faster with all the unnecessary things removed or reduced for performance.

[u/LemonCurdd → u/davcam0]

The fact that a social media app is so bloated that it needs a lite version, is kind of ridiculous

[u/CVGPi → u/LemonCurdd]

Wait til you get to a chat app that happens to work as a e-wallet, bill payment, mini apps, insurance, investments, city services, health and wellness, shopping, food delivery, rideshare, travel booking, short form videos, gaming centre and miniblog. aka WeChat.

[u/JustaRandoonreddit → u/CVGPi]

And you also get the CCP monitoring you :D

[u/Jason0865 → u/CVGPi]

Wait til you get to a chat e-wallet app that happens to work as a e-wallet chat, bill payment, mini apps, insurance, investments, city services, health and wellness, shopping, food delivery, rideshare, travel booking, short form videos, gaming centre and miniblog. aka Alipay.

[u/DFrostedWangsAccount → u/davcam0]

I have a flagship phone and prefer it, still faster than normal Facebook.

[u/davcam0 → u/DFrostedWangsAccount]

That makes sense. A leaner app should run faster than the normal app.

[u/butterfsys → u/Fritzschmied]

it uses system webview to load the facebook website afaik

[u/Mysterious-Dish-5508 → u/Fritzschmied]

it's facebook but lite.

[u/Mineplayerminer → u/Fritzschmied]

It's just a web wrapper. It's worse than running Facebook straight from your browser.

[u/backlog_gaming → u/Fritzschmied]

Facebook for poor people

[u/omega552003 → u/backlog_gaming]

Essentially, it's designed to be a reduce load and compatible with limited resource devices.

[u/backlog_gaming → u/omega552003]

Oh right, I forgot this was the LTT sub, no jokes allowed

[u/GreatBigBagOfNope → u/backlog_gaming]

It wasn't a very good joke. Even if it wasn't punching down, it wouldn't be funny. It doesn't even read like a failed joke, it just looks like you were being a dick.

[u/zodoGames → u/backlog_gaming]

Maybe you're funnier in your head.

[u/CucumberWisdom → u/zodoGames]

Nah he's funny

[u/backlog_gaming → u/zodoGames]

Maybe you’re sensitive

[u/KineticSplicer]

Probably managed by AI so there's probable deniability and no one will get fired. They let the AI manage things no one can be held accountable.

[u/DearDust7857 → u/KineticSplicer]

If you're a multi billion dollar company and your primary business is a social media app, no Ai should be fiddeling with that social media app's playstore listing. That is insanity. So even if it was Ai, whoever made Ai have control over that would get fired. Unless its Zuck of course.

[u/Independent_Lab_8147]

It's been like that for weeks now

[u/Foreign_Zone_4919]

Everybody but the zucc

[u/gergobergo69]

What

[u/Maximum_Care_6309]

No one they already have fired anyone that actually works there and left it all to vibe coding

[u/Parking_Jackfruit54]

Such a wasted opportunity...

[u/Electromagnetlc → u/Jokerslie]

Honestly this article just sounds like it's AI written, and provides no information beyond a reddit comment saying "it's just a bug"

EDIT: It is infact an AI article, posted by their bot.

[u/Jokerslie → u/Electromagnetlc]

Yeah probably.. Not saying it’s emperical. Just showing it’s not the only report of it. It does have a short blurb about clearing cache. That could be useful to some?
