No one ever “needed” Facebook.
In the beginning though it was a compelling offer to users as stated in the article. I found both the site and Messenger particularly useful as a way to keep in contact with both friends and my wider social circle back when I was travelling a lot for work. Sure I could have used a phone, but this was before Europe-wide roaming was a thing.
Groups also offered a really convenient way to connect with people with similar interests and hobbies. This is still useful to me today, and the only part that prevents me from deleting my account entirely.
