I think the question of "what is the value of non-targeted ads / contextual ads", "what is the risk of an aging population", "how to price tiktok risk" are all also a part of it.
The issue I have with them is that social media is quite a shaky thing on the long run - every generation is pretty much resetting the whole game, so to speak (i.e. your network effects might matter for existing groups but not for the new ones).
This, combined with economic uncertainty, makes me think "if the stock tanks for a relatively long period of time, what is the inherent value that gives me trust that they will recover?"
I think even for pure software companies, META is quite susceptible to disruption in this regard.
Not to mention, if Zuck decided to double down on his doubling down, he could have. Then we would have seen even lower numbers than 90. Since unlike other companies, META lacks checks and balances, that is also another point to be worried about, if you want to invest for long term.
