I’m baffled why anyone is still on Facebook.

Network effect. I think most people are on Facebook because most people are on Facebook. My local groups have discussions there, local businesses share updates there.

Aside from these, it's probably mostly people addicted to emotionally blackmailing AI slop - "if you don't upvote this 12-fingered child prodigy who carved a lifelike wooden dog, he will think that nobody loves him 🥺😭🙏"
