I find how Facebook continues to actually push for Libra astounding.
I was at Best Buy the other day, and as I was browsing through the home automation shelves, my eyes were quickly attracted by an ugly logo, blue over white with an atrocious font -> "Facebook Portal".
While I did remember hearing about Facebook plans to just, build this home camera+microphone connected thing, never would I imagine a remote universe where this product would actually hit the shelves. In fact, I naively always thought there are these teams called product and marketing that among other things are supposed to analyse the market and predict consumer reactions. I might be entirely wrong of course but I never ever imagined a world where such a product could be sold to a customer while being branded Facebook at the same time.
I have exactly the same feelings about Libra. A currency controlled by a corporation is a "no thanks" to begin with, but in the case of Libra we are talking about the last corporation anyone with a sane mind would ever consider (a bit of exageration here but let's say, one of the worst). I seriously have a hard time understanding how those evidences are not determined internally before communicating such plans publicly. It is either trolling, or there is a serious problem of isolation and there might be a yes men plague in this company.
