Except for VR headsets, I reject the notion that facebook/meta is a "tech" company.

They have done a ton of advancement in AI. They also have to have the infrastructure to handle so many users. I feel like they fall squarely in the tech company world.
Do you think “tech” excludes software or something? That wouldn’t be a normal definition.
Does running a website automatically mean you are a "tech" company?

Or does it become "tech" company just because you need to buy a whole lot of servers to store all the hoarded user data that later is sold out to advertisers?

What's the exact number of servers where running a website becomes a "tech company"?
