Comment on Play games with your neighbor to sink even lower! Canada rules!
imvii@lemmy.ca 2 weeks agoI only use Facebook for my business. Mostly just social posts about things which act as promotion. That said, I’m not seeing the results I saw a few years ago. Far fewer interactions on posts, almost no comments. I’m not sure it’s worth doing these days. We get more client contacts from our webpage than via facebook. We’re doing a ton more business these days than a few years ago, so I know it’s not coming from Facebook.
We have a business instagram account as well, but I use a third party to post to facebook/insta and it commonly has an issue posting to instagram. I have personal facebook and insta accounts but I never use them (expect to log into the business accounts). As a user, I can’t stand either of those platforms.
I don’t subscribe to any streaming service. Haven’t for over 3-4 years.
I do use youtube. I also have a business and a personal youtube account that are monitized so I throw videos up a few times a month.
I only use Amazon for my business and even then orders are rare. I try to order from Canadian vendors when possible.

I know someone who used FB for business. They said engagement was amazing to start with but it was as if FB started hiding their posts to encourage them to pay to promote them.
We tried a paid promotion on facebook a few years back just to see how it did.
It got shit results.
I bet you’re crowded out by spam on Facebook/Insta. I hate to say it, but playing the spam game seems almost expeced for businesses now.
…TBH, itd be fair to roll your own advertising spambots. Participate in the corruption of Facebook/Insta.

That’s true. I hate Marvel and Star Wars movies as well. I’m definitely an outlier.

Yes but do you hate Linux and Star Trek? That’s true minority on Lemmy.

I actually do hate linux as a desktop. It doesn’t suit my computer needs outside of maybe just browsing the web. I use Windows in my music studio and for video editing and I’m very happy with the software I’m using. I’m also extremely comfortable with it.
When I was in IT I used Linux all the time for servers though and had no complaints there.
I only like original Star Trek. I hated TNG and all the off-shoot shows.
