Word of mouth is how you find such businesses or local boards people advertising their services. That’s 90% of it or google search taking me to their FB page.

But yeah, if it means I can support local businesses? It’s a price worth paying by having a fb account with no activity or info.

At the end of the day, i care about the local guy running butchers out of a truck going to spots when they have meat more than giving money to tesco who under cuts farmers. Fb allows people to have automaty. While it’s not black and white. I do admit it’s way more on the dark side.

I mean I do. But there are two businesses I use twice a month where it is straight up impossible to interact with. A small business won’t see the investment into a website.

And no. There are no alternative businesses I could deal with in +80 mile range.

Could one live without fb? Yeah obviously. But it’s not all redundant with alternatives.

There are local businesses who ONLY use Facebook. No website, no nothing. Not even google maps location.

Sucks. I have a generic blank FB with my initials and that’s it.

I know it’s a hard concept… But people can be nice and genuinely happy for them?

Your basement is likely insufferable too.
