Facebook Marketplace. Am I going to buy something? Probably not but that doesn’t mean I won’t look for a good deal.

Facebook is mainly used for selling/advertising on a small scale

I’m living in the Philippines right now and the people here use messenger as the main form of communication, at least here in the province areas.
They are also very active on Facebook. So as someone who makes videos, Facebook is actually a good place to post for a Filipino audience.
Other than that. Facebook is a hellscape of bots and negativity on comment sections. I can’t stand that part of it. So if I’m scrolling thru reels or something, I spend most of that time on Instagram.
I spend more time on Reddit than either of the others tho

People on Facebook and Instagram are different. Usually on Facebook are older generations and Instagram younger generations. This is based on my analysis over years.
My purpose for example is to have wider reach and thats why I use both.

I use both for different goals: Facebook for community engagement (groups, long discussions, events) and Instagram for visuals + quick updates. Managing both can get messy, though, so I’ve been using a single tool to schedule and plan content for both. Makes it way easier to keep the same tone and track performance across platforms.
