Doesn’t the second sentence explain the first? I can’t tell the number of times I’ve heard a variation of, “I hate Facebook [newsfeed]. I only use it for Messenger/ niche Groups/ local events/ Marketplace.”

Facebook has positioned itself so that it’s almost a necessity if you want to be involved in your community, however you define it. You may hate Zuck, moderation, and ‘the algo’ and yet you can’t get away from Meta the company. And millions of other users feel the same way.

Facebook has a net profit of $62 billion/year.
