There's good and bad in this.
It sucks that we depend on Facebook/Instagram and others to get information about a local business like a restaurant we want to visit.
But years ago if you wanted information about a restaurant on the web... was it even there? If they even had a website it was built by the owner's nephew or maybe used some wix template, then if it does exist you're going all over the place to find contact information, opening hours are probably missing, menu might be anything from another page to a download of a photographed PDF.
I like the fact that I can go to a social network profile and there's a big button with contact information in the same place for all businesses.

Yes, it was. ~10-20 years ago, local restaurants and businesses would pay high school / college kids a pittance set up a simple website for them. No online ordering, but they would usually have a menu, phone number, and hours. The result was that the pages didn't all look like SquareSpace templates, and a lot of young people got their first leg up into a tech career.
