What changed between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0? How did this enable changes in the music industry?
In the Web 1.0, there was limited interaction between users and sites. Users could revive information by reading the pages but would not have the authority to post reviews, comment or feedback on the content.
When the Web 2.0 emerged, many changes were made. For example, server side programming was introduced, which allowed users to collaborate with pages and apps, meaning they could chat, comment, give feedback, make their own content and much more. Resulting in the creation of platforms such as Facebook and Wikipedia.
This enabled changes in the music industry due to artists being able to post promotional content such as posters, music videos, teasers, trailers and more over mainstream social media platforms (Instagram, YouTube, Twitter) to millions of followers, making it much easier to get themselves out there. This has most definitely lead to there being many more mainstream artists arising in recent years.
Not only this, but the web.20 has enabled users to buy music and artists products online, such as on Apple Music. This method of buying music is much easier than going out and buying a CD from a shop, therefore resulting in increased sales for artists and making it much easier for producers / artists to sell their own music since it's free to upload of certain sites, such as Spotify, YouTube and Soundcloud.

How has Facebook benefited it's users?
Facebook has benefited it's users due to the many different features of the app. Such as, 'marketplace'. The marketplace feature of Facebook is a place where you can sell brand new or used items, such as properties, vehicles, toys, makeup and much more. A benefit of the marketplace is that you can see who you're buying from - due to access to the sellers online profile, making the process much more safe and comfortable as you get a good idea of who you're buying from / whether you want to buy from them.
Other benefits to marketplace are the fact that you can also find and apply for full / part time jobs, internships and volunteer work in your town, which is a very unique feature to have on a mainstream social media platform, however it's worked in many peoples favours as the jobs are more local / lowkey - meaning the employer will most likely see your CV and look at your profile, helping them get a feel of who you actually are as a person, rather than mainstream job sites such as Indeed where you have to spend days, even months applying for jobs.

Facebook also benefits it's users by allowing you to stay in touch with friends and family. This is done through commenting / liking their posts and their photo / video uploads showing you what they're doing in their life. Helping you stay close with them and making you feel more surrounded with the people you love, which is important.
Another beneficial feature of Facebook is 'events' , this feature recommends events to users based on other previous events they've said they're interested in or have gone too, such as festivals, personal events such as weddings / birthdays, protests and much more. This is beneficial as it not only reminds you of upcoming events, but it also helps you maintain a good social life by recommending amazing events which are suitable for you.
Lastly, another great feature for users who have their own company or work freelance is the fact that you can create your own business page linked to your account (or not), which you can share with your Friends and get them to support, helping your page gain popularity and reach new customers, which is a massive benefit which many people use in order to showcase their services.
