Apparently (in 2015 at least), the iOS app had over 18,000 classes. There was even a presentation with a FB dev bragging about it's 'scale' tho suspiciously it's been scrubbed from the web
I suspect people will keep coming back because people are pretty used to internet services being flaky in general? The internet is not a shining pedestal of uptime.
Well to me it seems they've also been randomly breaking the web app. Besides the intentional off and on again Messanger functionality, I've seen random breakeages especially around posting. Maybe it's not intentional but knowing Facebook's manipulative history I wouldn't be surprised.
My Xperia X came with the Facebook app pre-installed. I disabled it and I'm using the mobile site with Firefox and ublock. I think I still count as one that came back.
I made & deleted a profile on Facebook ysterday for branding a product. Yelp and google biz as well.
In my experience, it provides little value for startups except in narrow arenas (cause or nprofit/physical consumer product) and is a time sink.
It reminded me of what a pain it was and it was worth having an hour as a sunk cost. If you are raising, it provides a minimal amount of validation and credibility, but time is much better spent elsewhere
I'm surprised whenever I see anyone running Facebook for Android. I haven't in years. Unnecessarily resource intensive, buggy, and slow.
Overall, I can't fault them for this testing. It's understandable given the impact that Google could have on Facebook by dropping their app from the store.

Or it could be possible that a normal user doesn't know how to resolve the error, so they ignore the app until a later time that it works.
Facebook lost me almost a decade ago because of their inane bullshit.
