Lol, remember that time like a year ago when Facebook had redefined their company to chase some other thing of the moment that has nothing to do with the new thing they have totally redefined their company to chase.

- threeseed 4y agoa) VR is completely aligned with the mission of the company which is to connect people together. b) Meta has always been chasing their competition. It's why they have overhauled their feed algorithm multiple times, acquired Instagram and WhatsApp, implemented Stories etc. c) They are hardly flailing around. Apple has shown them how sensitive and vulnerable their business is to privacy changes. And that if they can own the whole stack and be the Apple of potentially the next computing paradigm then that is a goal worth betting the company on.
- anm89 4y ago> the mission of the company which is to connect people together. I guarantee you Zuck doesn't wake up every morning and say "how can I connect people just a little bit better today". He was just able to say this because the world threw money at him for 15 years so he didn't have to worry about that part. Facebooks mission is to make money. Crypto didn't help them with their mission. Recreating miis with a vr headset is doing the exact opposite of that mission. Time will tell. Maybe he will look like a genius in 5 years. I've got skin in the game betting against that
- dvngnt_ 4y agoevery company's mission is to make money but how they do it is the real question. facebook, instagram, whatsapp are all designed to connect with people. VR makes sense especially with facebook users aging out and instagram losing to tiktok.
