I can't think of the last time Meta created a genuinely new and innovative product anyone actually wanted that wasn't just a competitor they purchased. Instagram, WhatsApp, Occulus, the list goes on. All purchased and integrated, not built natively. Others created a new platform, then Mark and Co placed a bid in buying it out.

@CaptBobbers @alersis @davidrevoy I don't necessarily know that it had to solve a problem, per se. It would have been fine if it was just cool/fun (like video games - they don't really solve a particular problem, they're just fun). The Metaverse failed mostly because Meta did a terrible job of explaining what it actually was and why we should care about it. Even the handful of commercials that I've seen for it don't even really tell you what it even is. |

Take a look at their now mostly defunct Metaverse concept... who was asking for that? What real problem was it solving?
I bought a new mop, it's one of those spinny ones that wrings itself. Didn't need a new mop, but this one actually solved a problem. Where's that in Zuck's Metaverse? No where, because it wasn't meant to solve any problem, it was meant to be another commodity for consumers to buy. That's an incredibly unstable footing for the profitability of any product.
