People are going with facebook because it’s free, and because you’d “have” to do it anyway, and most importantly because it has a built in audience.
I recently made a website for my personal art projects - i got absolutely zero feedback. I’m sure many friends/family/random people have seen it now - but they’re not liking, sharing, or commenting anywhere that I can see so how am i supposed to feel that was effort well spent? If I made a facebook page, i’d get to see immediately who followed it - who likes it - who comments - etc.
Not to mention every time i put effort into adding content, i’d see some feedback for that.
If facebook is to be toppled, the feedback loop needs to be tightened for off-facebook content
