Why anyone would pay money for meta to collect their entire life of data is beyond me. Instagram and Facebook and WhatsApp are already free.

these "free" products are hugely, mind-bogglingly, yet invisibly expensive
They acquired Limitless AI in 2025 which had pivoted from “record and rewind anything on your Mac” to a hardware pendant “granola for everything” product. It was not in market for very long prior to the acquisition. Hardware was very nice & sorry to see they sold. Mine sits in my desk now :/

Threads? They have 400m monthly active users and 100m+ daily active users. Though, its userbase likely does not intersect with your interests. Meta Ray-Ban glasses are also a massive success.
i am surprise ai glasses are not more popular. i would love to wear those to appliance store and get info about appliance quickly. is there any alternative ray ban meta . i hate buying from zuck.
Same with this pendant eavesdropping device.
What products has Meta developed internally after Facebook that have been a success? I am actually asking this question, it seems like they have only had success purchasing already ramping products, plowing cash into them, and cross-integrating them into their product set. Why wouldn't they just continue to lean into that profile and wait for people with actual good ideas solve this.

Limitless used to be Rewind that maintained one of the most useful pieces of software on my Mac, and I use a cracked version now because I refuse to give it up. There is nothing else like it yet. I seem to recall some other thing that aims to be similar, but that might be cross-platform or otherwise Linux-ish which discounted it as a practical alternative. (I don't remember its name unfortunately)

Why was it trivial for FB to scale WhatsApp from 450,000,000 users at acquisition to over 3,300,000,000 now? Seems like an insane achievement to scale a messaging service to half of the world.
Going from 450 to 3300 seems rather small in terms of technical achievement. If you can serve 450 you can serve 3300 MM frankly.
The world desperately needs more products conceived under sweaty moonlight at burning man!
