Facebook owning the local classifieds section is often overlooked.
Offer up is dead in my area. Craigslist is a joke. Everything happens on FB marketplace. Vendors sell food, gyms liquidate old equipment, small furniture stores post their entire inventory.
FB isn't monetizing any of that beyond ads for related products, which I guess is how they monetize everything.
Whatsapp too, I only caught a glimpse of that fairly recently after we had some local political issue (an asylum seeker center to be built nearby, nothing gets people riled up than something like that). Now I'm in a "post stuff to pick up for free" group, lol.
