Exactly. I've seen plenty of YouTube videos that are excellent despite being made by tiny channels of just a few 100 or 1000 subscribers. Same goes for a lot of the posts on Hackernews. And TikTok has a massive userbase that's still growing because even if it's not healthy for you, at least the content on the platform is good. Facebook is both unhealthy and bad content. Every time I scroll through, it feels like I'm torturing myself a little.

I think their point was that facebook doesn't care if it's good or bad so long as it's free to them and engaging.

You can have an ocean of free blogposts but if it's not engaging then it's not easy to monetize.

It's their blogs, they don't do unpaid work for facebook
