>I couldn't stop thinking to myself about how many smart people work there, and how much money the company has, yet still it was one of the worst online experiences that I've had.
Really feels like the product has been in 'maintenance mode' for a while. Probably the focus in the company has shifted to growing platforms and not declining ones. Once the grandparents are on the platform it dies.
Was it a video you uploaded? Have you considered doing a data request to see if your video is available that way?

Really? I thought the point of Facebook was to be in touch with friends and relatives.
I would rather say that "grandparents" were slow to adapt Facebook amd likewise slow to leave.
The decline of Facebook seems to me to be related to the feed pushing crap people don't care about and competition from Instagram, TikTok amd whatever.
Young people don't wanna be on the platform if their parents and grandparents are on it. Once those people got on Facebook the young moved to Instagram -> Snapchat -> Tiktok.
Instagram is interesting because it seems to have staying power in the face of Tiktok. Mainly just thirst traps and content stolen and ripped off of tiktok so not sure how long term it really is.

There is plenty of that on the other platforms you mentioned.
