I am not surprised because the culture at meta is not at all, even in the slightest, to focus on science for the sake of it. It’s actively actively purged out of you. The focus is on metrics and how the bottom line is impacted. So this is in line with that

[georgeburdell]

It’s not that simple. I worked at a supplier of Meta and they paid us large NREs to fund our exploratory work

Yeah and this problem is near impossible to fix once it has infested into the culture of the firm.

It's not always a bad thing though, like in this case they looked for a practical win and found one because impractical wins can't make them money.

"People are using our service more!" turns out to be a horrible metric when they outright lie to you (x has sent you a message! - when no message exists)
