> the exact same sentiment I remember reading about Zuck on HN around the time Instagram and WhatsApp acquisitions happened Don't want to downplay it, but having access to all the info users give to FB is like insider-trading. They know very well what is trending, what is growing and what is going nowhere. The main difference is that Metaverse is something the want to build from scratch, not something that already exists like Insta and WhatsApp, so they don't have that insider-trading info.
