> Facebook itself seems to be screwed.
I felt the same way and saw all the toxicity back in 2015. I deleted my FB account back then.
Every year since then, people have been predicting Facebooks demise.
Maybe this time, under current market conditions facing the company, and arguably worst public discourse - maybe now this time is different. I don’t know.
I don’t underestimate FB finding a new monetization avenue. I think FB will evolve, whether that is better or worse for society I don’t know.
- muzani 4y agoI think the "metaverse" might actually be on the mark. It was just that peak metaverse was Farmville. Nobody wants 4D Farmville though. They're not looking for immersion. They're looking for a minimum effort way to socialize. FB likely peaked around 2012 (coincidentally around IPO). After that, it was cashing in on the goodwill it had built. People say it was in decline since the Meta announcement, but I think it was long gone by then. Stock price is a lagging indicator. Meta was a catalyst.
