Btw I am just quoting someone else. It's in the news in for a long time. Besides ads monetization, Zuck's moves in recent years are mostly about creating their own platform so the Apple incident never happen again

It contextualizes all the strange Metaverse and VR-goggles stuff quite well. It always seemed like a weirdly forced product without any particular market fit - who is clamoring for a version of Teams where you need a bulky helmet, and can theoretically buy pretend digital land in order to have a... less useful corporate website? Who is interested in buying dorky goggles that instantly mark you as a weird creep who is probably recording everything you see?

Owning A Platform being the point instead of any actual use-case tracks perfectly with all these weird, forced pitches. These are all products for nobody.
