    Zuckerberg more than any other tech CEO uses acquisitions to either adopt or strangle any potential competitor in the cradle. But he isn’t a visionary, he doesn’t actually know what technology will be useful. This is a perfect example.

      This actually makes sense. Just buy anything because you have the money.

        Yup, really a core monopolist mindset. Money is a way to avoid competition, not win it.

    Meta the same company that changed it’s name from “Facebook” to the name of its now failed venture the “meta verse”.

    The company that spent BILLIONS trying to get people give up reality for “VR chat but make it Microsoft teams”.

    Your confused they are making a bad purchase based on hype? Why?
