First they manipulate their algorithms so that small businesses lose almost all visibility... Except when buying ads.

Now this?

Does that actually mean businesses won't even reach their potential customers with paid ads anymore?

Or the paid ads will be targeted to those it is relevant to making the advertising more efficient for small business.

I don't like fb or any meta shit and I hope they crash and burn but I don't get this particular issue.
