Facebook is the first highly popular social media platform in the world. Billions of users around the world use Facebook, but a huge number of users have given up from it already. It is because there are many better social media platforms available right now. A lot of people believe that instead of spending time on Facebook, they should use other social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Reddit. All these three social media platforms are also popular, but the purpose and way of using these platforms are a bit different.
