Facebook has been a really great shield for Apple in recent years by dominating the media through [advertising outrage].

Now that Facebook has decided to shoot itself in foot by going all in on the metaverse (the new narrative), a lot of Apple’s more self-interested decisions are starting to come to light. What started off as Apple’s commitment to privacy is now getting laid bare as pushing out and replacing their competition.

Or, more simply, ads have migrated out of the Facebook family of apps and into your OS. I can’t say this is an improvement.

To me it seems shortsighted and self-sabotaging to damage your OS by embedding ads, but I guess we'll see how it turns out.
