Stick to working on VR legs Zuck

like adding bacteria to a petri dish

Facebook platforms are likely to follow the same trajectory as Fox News, and perhaps Zuckerberg can see that. The main site is obviously full of bullshit and practically useless for its original purpose, and it's also increasingly abandoned by core demographics because it doesn't have enough of their preferred flavor of bullshit. I've known MAGA guys who make a game out of creating secondary accounts to avoid Facebook jail. That sort of pathological use case is surely driving somebody's OKR numbers, someplace in the company. After that game stops being fun, some of these people will either decamp for other platforms or (gasp, shock, horror) give up on social media entirely!

Instagram has almost completely subsumed the "my favorite celebrity might reply back to me" appeal that Twitter used to have, although TikTok is also stealing a lot of that. If they lose that shine, Zuckerberg's in real trouble.

tbh an AI generated feed is an improvement over the everyday natural intelligence slop from your racist uncle

Weren’t they working on all this 3D immersive headset bullshit. Are they full on AI now too? Heavy sigh.

I haven't been near anybody Meta's platforms for a decade at least. Sounds like it is still a shit hole of "content" designer and curated to push consumption down peoples throats. No wonder it's still called a feed...
