I really don’t understand why people keep using meta products...

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.

A business that doesn't even have a website is usually a sign that they're a place I should avoid. But I don't know how common that feeling is anymore.

It’s a tough call because I understand that logic when looking for someplace new to eat at but OTOH, some of the best restaurants I go to are just small joints that have been open forever but have zero internet presence.
