For real. Like there are braindead-easy services for building a website. There are definitely alternatives.
It's not just a matter of the company's capabilities. Sometimes the customers demand it.
Very recently a group of moms I know was upset because their plans were weather dependent and the water park they were heading to only posted the closure on their official website and not on facebook!
Yeah we're all tech gods and they are dummies har har etc. And fortunately my work lets me work at quiet offices and at home. But I feel for the people who have to serve them, because the public IS filled with dummies, but many of them are just nice people who are trying to do business with you. And of course a large subset are cunts, which makes the ignorant decent people get much worse service.
This just reminded me about reading in an article how at some point Musk said he wanted to make X be the everything app. For many people, Facebook is already much further in that direction. That's where they get their news, text or call their friends, do their shopping, plan their events, doom scroll, argue with strangers, etc. They might never leave it if TikTok wasn't so deeply soaked into their neurons.
Needles to say, these people are exactly the type of conservative or recovering conservative people who should be far away from facebook. And I'm not excusing them. But I can at least understand the position folks trying to do business with them are in.
Not as brain dead as an fb page xD there's tons of businesses solely using fb.
