Well marketplace basically killed Craig's list, so that's one reason.

Have you tried explaining something to someone lately? A lot of people don't care and don't understand. About anything

People are on Facebook because that's where everyone already is. They won't leave because then they lose contact with all those people.

'People who spend too much time on Facebook' overlaps with 'People who need cheap lawyers.'

I'm on Facebook because many people I communicate or work with and pages and groups relevant to my interests are active there.

You could say the same about any social media site really.

The whole point of social media is to communicate with other people. Facebook is the largest one, so if you want to contact a business or person, they're more likely to be on Facebook than any other site. Probably the main exception are younger people (and companies run by them), where they're more active on TikTok and Instagram.

It’s ~Meta~

That's my daily battle. I'm looking for something in my country, and there are these "businesses" that only show on Facebook or Instagram, both of which are entirely blocked at the network and device level in my house. So I'll never do business with them. If you don't have an actual web site with relevant information, I just keep looking.

Even for companies that have sites, they often get more people contacting them through social media instead of their site. Social media sites tend to have better SEO.

That's especially the case for younger people as they search Instagram and TikTok more than Google. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2024/03/11/genz-dumping-google-for-tiktok-instagram-as-social-search-wins/ ).

But he has a website... He's just saying Facebook denied him additional exposure unfairly.

Devils advocate, perhaps he did and clients still reached out on FB. When he got banned they assumed he ghosted and went with another lawyer.
