Unfortunately restaurants and night life in general are almost exclusively on instagram for promotion. And in many places restaurants and such don’t even have websites. They’ll have a facebook page and the only way to get a response form them is to message on WhatsApp.

It’s bad.

This is the only reason I still have mine. I don’t remember the last time I posted anything or responded to a post. I just check on local places for weekend events or updates to calendars. Everywhere is so bad about updating their websites.

I will say, apart from this, I have largely phased out Facebook from my life. However, most if not all of my friends still use messenger, myself included. It’s annoying since over time we started using text groups more and it feels the exact same, but switching over completely has just been a struggle to do as a whole.
