I read "it's dying" by people on Discord and Reddit all the time, but the numbers prove otherwise. It's been going up this entire time and sitting over 3 billion MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS!

I feel like the bubble around people on other platforms saying "who uses Facebook anymore lol" is kind of wild given the numbers. Keep in mind these are active users not just abandoned accounts.

Most small business need all the business they can get. But if they don't care, then that is on them.

How often do you look at the website of a restaurant before going to it? If they don't have a website and instead just a Google maps page does that stop you?

Quite often.
