I was thinking about how I actually use Facebook these days.

I still open it regularly, but most of the time I'm not there to check what my friends are doing.

I'll end up watching a video, reading something random, checking a page, or looking at what people are talking about.

It feels like Facebook has become more of a content platform than a place to keep up with friends.

Maybe that's just how I use it now.

Do you still use Facebook mainly to keep up with friends, or has the reason you open it changed too?

When I check a business on Facebook, I usually look at the photos people have posted.

Not the professionally edited ones from the business itself.

I'm more interested in the random customer photos.

They show what the place or product actually looks like without all the editing.

Sometimes that gives me more confidence than a perfect business page.

Do customer photos affect your trust in a business on Facebook, or do you mostly ignore them?
