Nothing of value was lost.
- deadbabe 3y agoEntire businesses and livelihoods would crumble without Meta’s platforms.
- newsclues 3y agoThey can migrate to other platforms.
- binaryblitz 3y agoWhat platforms have anywhere near the reach and services that Meta does for a marketplace/advertising? I'm not personally a fan of most social media, but saying "they could go somewhere else" is a pretty naieve/ignorant response.
- tjpnz 3y agoIf your business only exists at the sole discretion of Meta then it's not a viable business, at least not in the longterm.
- aloe_falsa 3y agoTechnically true, just as if you replace Meta with Amazon, Google Cloud, Etsy, eBay, the local city council, etc. If you don't have a diversified, multi-market, preferably international presence, you're not viable in the long term. Of course, in the really long term, we're all dead. Meanwhile, the local mom & pop candy shops keep advertising and selling online and making ends meet.
