Maybe I’m being a bit too cynical, but why would someone take time to write this article if they think Meta is doing great?

My guess is that they are stuck with a lot of shares and want the price to go up to get rid of them.

If I thought Meta is doing great, I wouldn’t try to convince others that, I would take the opportunity to buy and horde as many stocks as possible.

Because you're a tech blogger who gets paid to blog about tech and don't have any better ideas this week?

Ben Thompson always writes positive Meta and FB content. I was a paid subscriber until I realized his strong bias for all things Zuck.
It’s kinda what business analysts do.. white about the future of businesses. Ben writes about tech companies every day (4 a week?) and one article a week is free to non-subscribers. He’s smart enough to know which ones to give away. My guess is that it’s probs good for business to give away the flashy ones that get people talking.
