The conversation on X
X discusses Facebook’s usefulness, reach, access problems, and criticism
The posts discuss Facebook as a business and advertising channel, a widely used platform, a place for Marketplace and groups, and a source of account-access frustrations.
Some users describe Facebook as useful or commercially effective, while others portray it as outdated, overly commercial, unfair, or poorly governed.
Compared with the podcast story’s focus on support groups, business comparison, and guest promotion, X is mostly focused on account suspensions, platform criticism, advertising, and everyday use.

- Facebook remains useful for business and commerce21%
Holders say Facebook can generate business opportunities, reach customers, support groups, and facilitate Marketplace activity. They present its established audience and connected services as practical advantages.
“Facebook has an unfair AI advantage. Meta already has Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Marketplace, and groups. Here are 3 awesome Muse use cases: 1. find deals on Facebook Marketplace Muse searches the listings and helps you find deals. 2. sell stuff for you on Facebook”

@StriderStone · Oct 4
- Facebook is overly commercial and poorly governed11%
Critics say Facebook has become primarily an advertising platform and accuse its leadership or moderation system of prioritizing profit while failing to address harmful content.
“Meanwhile, on harmful Facebook incitement groups that Facebook won’t remove: (For a group of people obsessed with bathing in piss and drinking piss, Facebook, how are you even going to monetise them for ads? They get the product for free, they’re not going to buy it from ads.)”

“@facebook is no longer a social media platform. It has become nothing more than an advertising platform to support Zuckerberg’s extreme greed.”
