Ep 75 - From Community to Combat Zone: The Decline of Facebook for Business

Описание: In this episode, I’m sharing what’s been driving me mad about Facebook—especially as a business owner.

What started as a space for genuine connection has become a chaotic mess of bots 🤖, trolls, censorship, shadow banning, and algorithmic manipulation.

I talk about my own experiences with disappearing posts, unexplained bans, and the rise of “Meta Verified” as the new gatekeeper to reach and visibility. 📉

Is Facebook still worth the effort for businesses? 🤔 Or has it completely lost its relevance in our digital strategies?

Join me as I unpack what’s really going on behind the newsfeed—and what you need to think about if you're still relying on Facebook to reach your audience.
