    I think the modern social media giants have become so entrenched in other parts of people’s lives that it becomes hard to quit fully. Some Facebook groups are the only way to interact with some communities and the same goes with some niche local news on Twitter or certain personalities. Businesses/brands are not keen on potentially losing eyes on them by switching platforms.
