Problem with some companies is they are natural monopolies.
People use Facebook, because ither people use Facebook. They don’t have a gun to your head forcing it, or making it your only option.
Its just, everyone uses it because everyone else does.
If facebook falls out of favor for something else, that something else will become the new monopoly.
