I think it is the shady stuff that earns them money. They cant survive without that. The rest is a corporate hobby, basically.

  i think honestly it’s the opposite. it still confuses me why meta invested so much in their pointless experiments (think any of their AR ventures) when their main source of revenue was, and continues to be, their boring advertising on consumer apps

    I think all their actions could be explained by "they thought it will be next great thing and it either wasn't or they stumbled hard"
