One Facebook feature that keeps many people there is the Marketplace. Making some extra money by selling things is nice. There are alternatives like Craigslist, but also here's another option.

Stop buying stuff.

I rarely sell anything because I don't buy things that I later need to sell. Admittedly, I do have a storage unit, and places in my home with a bunch of stuff on shelves. So, I have bought a lot in my lifetime. But, still, I rarely have the need to sell something.

Another admission is the fact that I don't enjoy the process. A stranger coming around, trying to offer you less than what you agreed to... things like that.

The point is, we all could benefit from buying less. And if you rarely need to sell something, find a way. People sold things before Facebook Marketplace.
