A surprising number of teams are NOT involved in things like news feed, story ranking, "engagement", etc. Some teams, like my own, were building foundational technology for things like AR/VR, wearable devices, mapping & navigation, etc. A concrete example of "impactful" work done by such teams was just posted on LinkedIn, which is a focus on building maps geared towards pedestrians walking around, not cars driving. This is a building block for eventual AR use cases, among other things. The team building this then enables other teams up the food chain to use this in building what eventually becomes part of an end-user product.
- RjQoLCOSwiIKfpm 4y agoThank you for taking the time to answer my question! :) I suppose it's a matter of weighing "a set of many small utilities which make life a bit easier for N people" against "two big dangerous social networks which make life a lot harder for M people". Because the money from the former helps the latter as well. How you decide to judge this is up to you :)
