For B2B and small business pages specifically. Consumer brands with real audiences there are a different conversation.

Posting organically to a page with no audience

Organic page reach has been effectively zero for years. If you are posting three times a week to forty people, that time belongs somewhere else.

Boosting posts instead of running proper campaigns

Boost is a convenience feature with poor targeting and almost no measurement. If paid is worth doing, it is worth doing in the ads manager.

Keeping a page alive out of obligation

An abandoned page with a 2019 cover photo is worse than no page. Either commit to it or post a note directing people elsewhere and leave it tidy.

There is a keep hiding in here: groups, if your audience genuinely gathers in one. That is still a real channel and it is the only part of the platform I would defend for most B2B.
