There's lots of info on FB, behind soft walls. Lots of businesses don't have homepages, for example. Or people organize their events there. And the general network effect - by its nature, you miss out of everything that happens there.

I haven't stumbled on anything in the last 10 years that would even tempt me to go back on FB/Insta.

Events have died completely in my circle. It’s a WhatsApp group for parties now - appreciate the irony, but everyone also has 4 or 5 messaging apps so switching could happen quickly if prompted.
