Facebook is a company that never stood by small businesses. It's also the company that manipulated users into a free basic services just to create their own walled garden in the internet.
Still, sardonically they created two ad campaigns: Apple vs free internet and vs small businesses. Their whole marketing stunt was laughably wrong. No wonder their chief left the company.
- bcherny 6y ago> Facebook is a company that never stood by small businesses. Curious what makes you say this? Knowing a handful of small business owners, I hear lots of good things about how great FB ads are for reaching their customers without requiring multi-million dollar ad spends, agencies, etc.
- mrtksn 6y agoI find that argument unconvincing. If there were no ads, would have people starve to death because they would not be able to find restaurants? Also, local businesses can da a lot to turn heads without having a giant IT system spying on the people. Sure, FB provides value to its users but when they don’t provide the service, they don’t provide it for everyone. Local businesses spending on better signs and better service could be actually much better for the local community as the resources remain local and they get better service instead of sending their money to FB in exchange for reach shortcut.
