Pretty fascinating they mention applications for ad serving but not Metaverse.

I feel like Zuck figured out he’s just running an ads network, the world is a long way anway from some VR fever dream, and to focus on milking each DAU for as many clicks as possible.

I dunno, he burned a lot of cash on metaverse and wasn’t focused on FB. All the top talent was moved over to Metaverse and FB was treated as career killer. My impression is ads work is once again a good career play. People chase promo.
