This x100.
Sure, Apple have a disproportionally large power that should be acknowledged and stifled sensibly by regulators, but man do they create truly beautiful products that make my life better in myriad ways.
Facebook, on the other hand, maintain a business model that seems to do little but incentivise actions that exhaust ill societal outcomes. It's exhausting (pun intended), and I've certainly felt my mental health crack slightly under the burden of some of their products (not WhatsApp, which is fantastic and I hope isn't integrated further into their ecosystem from a user perspective).

Your claim is that people get little value out of Meta's products? I don't know how it is for the older generation, but people of my age (20s) get a ton of value out of instagram. I feel like in our critiques of social media people often forget that generally people like to communicate and share with others online.

So these days I am either looking at someone's new baby, or something someone had for breakfast or vacation photos. And I participate in groups about 3D Printing, my vehicle, my favorite author and a couple of others, which are all entirely constructive. So I get plenty of positive use from FB.
