For some reason its very popular in Asia, according to my partner who is Thai and 23 years old. But then they don't really use anything else (well, tiktok and Line, but rarely Insta or twitter). I guess facebook is just decent for all kinds of media, be it text, images, videos or links

> For some reason its very popular in Asia, according to my partner who is Thai and 23 years old. Facebook subsidized mobile internet access specifically to facebook properties for a decade or so in many parts of the world. If you went to Google.com you'd get charged for mobile data. if you went to any Facebook company sites, it was free data. This is also why Whatapp is so embedded in many parts of the world. Text messages were charged, while Whatapp messages were free.
