Big Tech is controlling everything they touch, which is why I quit FaceBook a couple of years ago. They are completely ignoring pleas from large numismatic organizations. https://www.greysheet.com/news/stor...nish-facebook-about-ads-offering-counterfeits
Facebook again. Didn't we grumble about this last week ? They shouldn't even be involved in the business .

I just see the word "Facebook" and have a "yecch" reaction. Not quite as bad as the reaction I get when I see "Craigslist", but yecch all the same. I do have an account, which I check every three to six months to see what far-flung family or long-ago friends have been up to- it's good for that- but as far as wanting to buy or sell there, or spend much time there otherwise, fuhgeddaboutit.
That was the intention of it when it started. Too bad it turned into an Avenue for people to sell fear, hatred and counterfeit coins.
On average, Facebook earned $32 from each of its users worldwide in 2020, earning $84bn in total advertising revenue and an additional $2bn from its non-advertising business. There are millions of facebook pages up for people who are dead. Seems like fraud to me if they are earning $32 yearly from the deceased. I know several people who are gone yet their facebook pages live on.
I have an account Made it just to try to be relatable with my generation (not going too well) I did have a video that got half of a million views! That's about it, though.
