The days are gone where every Gym and Club were setting up their „website“ on FB. Setting up a website these days is a non-issue with offers from wix.com etc. And local groups are moving to WhatsApp (I know it‘s owned by FB, but it doesn‘t do harm, it‘s a good product) or to Instagram (also owned by FB). There are way too many alternatives. Many people realized that it‘s boring or harming to consume „news“ pushed to a newsfeed that is manipulated. Either they get jealous, or sick of their echo-chamber or they are overwhelmed by the amount of input that they constantly receive. FB is fighting for a very very valuable asset: Your attention.
No idea where you come from with your experience, and honestly I don't care. Suffice to say that it is absolutely not the case in my reality.
