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.'

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/ ).

Same here

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.

The irony of this comment goes through the roof

I was actually hoping it was this. My top level response would have been the same though.

Without a doubt.

It just seemed clear grammatically that this was two separate people.

If it was some oligarch shenanigans instead of "the" it would have been "as a"

Yeah, I assumed it was some corporate shenanigans where Zuckerberg sues himself and somehow ends up with more money because of it.

It's probably so popular on account of people always shouting it.
