Where can we get used stuff without it though? There are no classified ads.

I want to quit, I can't not get used gear sometimes I don't have the money to buy new all the time.

I want to quit but I need it sometimes for that if there are no other workable options.

Ask people. Craigslist. Offerup. Neighborhood swaps.

Do you absolutely need to buy things?

Either way, the reason there aren't other options is because people aren't quitting. So they won. And you are basically handing money over to Facebook to do more of the same.

The only way out is to quit.

I don't have Facebook and I manage. You can too.
