> The end goal for Meta is that it is no longer a service you use, but instead, the infrastructure upon which you live.

> Like water to fish, Meta wants to become the imperceptible medium that permeates our entire existence. It will no longer be a choice you make but rather the space within which choices are made available to you. In other words, it’s not the company sponsoring the event, it’s the stadium in which it’s held. The idea is that Meta will be a holding company in charge of a thriving ecosystem of interconnected products and services, all seamlessly integrated into a hybrid world able to effortlessly extract profit at every point in the system.


Facebook wants to offer products and services in exchange for money. The nerve! >:(
