    What I know is some craftsmen and small workshops only use Facebook to do their businesses. If you are interested in their work and want to contact them, you can only do that through Facebook. They don’t have websites nor blogs, sometimes don’t show their email to the public. I don’t know why but maybe they want to be selective.

      I think for some it is just easier - they don’t need to get their nephew to build a janky website, or cut into their profit by having someone build a decent one.

      The older blokes in particular probably aren’t worried or even aware of the issues with Facebook. For them, it’s just a place to share pics of their grandkids visiting and boomer memes etc.

      Even with the younger crowd - when I move, which is every few years, I often find new hairdressers on Facebook; few bother with a website. They’re already on there and it’s a great way to show their work to a wide range of potential clients.

      Almost no one is going to a website every few weeks to check out updates from their favourite artisans, but they will scroll through a social feed and often interact with the posts.
