> declining content production

Declining? Ten years ago all my Facebook friends were posting things, breakfast pictures, personal updates, trip pictures, commenting on each other posts. Nowadays my feed is Ads, suggested content by people I do not know and a guy that shares news links. In my experience declining is an understatement.

Before I talked to friends on Facebook, now I use it for events and the rental market places. Its found its place as a bulletin board.

In my experience, it replaced Craigslist. Now that Craigslist charges for listing items, why not use Facebook where listing items is free and you can at least vet the persons profile before going to meet up with them?

In my area at least, nextdoor.com is really good for posting and finding items as well. Plus you know they're nearby and you're not having to drive super far to get an item. I found some awesome free patio chairs through nextdoor.

A lot of small businesses seem to have most if not all of their online presence on Facebook.

The sort of businesses that are well known in a niche, but haven't figured out how to get https to work on their website.

On Facebook, they will have all sorts of pictures of their work, and information on what they are doing lately.
