Yeah not in love with their style either, and certainly closed metaverse + 45% royalties make me gag

But markets require respecting your competition no matter how you feel about them

I don’t take kindly to incumbents appropriating a prefix that was long established before they were in the business of muddling up the social fabric of our time.

my bearish take is that their two big bets are falling apart (libra is done, apple is coming for them in VR) while their core is under assault from tiktok 

i wouldn't bet against mark, but i wouldn't bet against the companies he's up against either

I agree and I simply would not bet against Zuck.

I think what is disappointing is the slow pace of progress and lackluster product offering.

The Pro headset and the variety of accessories that aren’t included feel very nickel and dime-y, especially given Pico 4 is so much cheaper
