 '''Facebook''' is a social media site that is intended to allow users to connect with one another. It has since become the largest social media site in history, with an estimated two billion users.
 ==Relevance to ''Super Smash Bros.''==
-Since the growth of Facebook, especially since 2012, it has become one of the most popular ways for [[smasher]]s to connect with one another. Facebook's ability to allow users to create groups has allowed for such groups to be created devoted to entire regions and for specific games, allowing prospective players interested in finding [[tournament]]s near them or allowing them to connect with other players in their region to learn the game. Facebook's popularity has since eclipsed that of [[Smashboards]], owing to its greater presence in most people's lives, that Facebook's interface and etiquette are more well-known to most users compared to forums, and its ability to streamline groups allows players to access regions and games pertinent to their interests.
+[[Nintendo]] owns and operates a host of Facebook pages to promote games and products, as well as provide general corporate updates and announcements. This includes a page dedicated to the  ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
-Applied usage of Facebook has also allowed for a number of projects relevant to ''Smash'' to be accessible to a wider number of players. Various [[mod]]s, such as ''[[Project M]]'' and ''[[Brawl-]]'' have their own pages, allowing users to follow updates on both mods without having to use their official sites or follow their threads on Smashboards. [[Melee Hell]] is a ''Smash''-related group created through Facebook, and holds over 41,000 members currently.
+Since its inception, Facebook became a popular outlet for [[smasher]]s to connect with one another. Facebook's ability to allow users to create groups has allowed for such groups to be devoted to entire regions and for specific games, allowing prospective players who are interested in finding [[tournament]]s near them or connecting with other players in their region to learn the game. Facebook's popularity had even eclipsed that of [[Smashboards]], owing to its greater presence in most people's lives, it's more well-known interface and etiquette compared to forums, and its ability to streamline groups that allow players to access regions and games pertinent to their interests.
-[[Nintendo]] also runs an official Facebook page, as to promote its various games and products.
+Applied usage of Facebook has also allowed for a number of projects relevant to ''Smash'' to be accessible to a wider number of players. For example, various [[mod]]s such as ''[[Project M]]'' and ''[[Brawl-]]'' have their own pages, allowing users to follow updates on both mods without having to use their official sites or follow their threads on Smashboards. Facebook has also allowed smashers to form groups, where much Smash-related content is posted. A popular example is {{Team|Melee Hell}}, which currently holds over 41,000 members and includes many top players such as {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|Hax}}.
+However, the popularity of Facebook has waned in recent years due to more appealing alternatives like [[Twitter]] and [[Discord]] as well as Facebook falling out of public favor due to poor decisions that both directly and indirectly damaged its reputation. Facebook still sees use with group and event pages, including the afformentioned Melee Hell, though many of its members have moved on to other sites.
+The [[Nintendo Switch]] allows for any screenshots taken on the system to be posted to the site (as well as [[Twitter]]). These screenshots can include any taken of ''[[Ultimate]]''.
