Does anyone else feel that Facebook pages are not growing anymore?

The wave of dead profiles with people who died alone on FB is insane. Given the userbases growing age and the dropoff point after 72 when people die, I would say the peak of all this is yet to come with the aging Baby Boomer generation aging as a big portion of society and wealth. I feel people left Myspace to Facebook then got on Insta and other platforms, a long time ago.

3.56Billion users daily? How many scammers, bots and zombie PCs with dead person on the keyboard. Probably phone farms too. I automated my social replies with a bot some time ago, cant look back, have to limit my screen time.

Building organic reach takes more patience today, but quality content and regular engagement still make a difference.

You should focus on producing Facebook Reels, absolutely avoid inserting links in captions, and actively respond to comments within the first hour to reactivate the organic distribution algorithm for your Fanpage.

Recently, I have started posting more consistently on a Facebook page that I haven't touched for quite some time.


While the content gets some likes and shares, the reach is nothing compared to what I would remember a few years ago. It feels like the content disappears into thin air after some time.


Is this the new normal or is there still a way to get organic reach on facebook?

organic reach for dormant pages is practically zero now because meta prioritizes high-retention formats like Reels and active engagement signals. to revive it, pivot heavily to short-form reels with strong hooks, leverage meta's Broadcast channels, and run small engagement/boost campaigns to wake up your dormant follower base before relying purely on organic traffic

Organic reach on Facebook is definitely harder than before, pages that stay inactive for a long time usually need some consistency to rebuild audience signals.
Quality content regular posting and real engagement still help improve visibility.

Organic reach on standard pages has definitely dropped over the years. Focus heavily on Facebook Reels, original short-form video content, and driving engagement through active groups—that is where most of the organic traction seems to be shifting now.

If you haven't used your Facebook page for a long time, it's obvious that engagement will decrease. Facebook user behavior changes very quickly over time, and the quickest way to fix this is to post high-quality content and create detailed advertising campaigns that target specific audiences.
