Facebook/Meta is a consumer company. All the worthwhile applications of remote presence are going to be in industrial spaces that combine robotics with VR. I see no way that Facebook/Meta will do anything worthwhile or useful in that space.

> Facebook/Meta is a consumer company.

There's not a single consumer that ever spent 1 dollar on Facebook. It's an advertising company, doing websites and chat apps on the side.

How is advertising not about consumption?

Facebook enables consumer activity so it's a consumer company. It does not build industrial robots or enable industrial production of any form.

Its neither. Their core product is surveillance.
