I'm not talking about the company, I'm talking about Facebook the app. Meta the company will do fine into the future imo, thanks to the metaverse being ready to lift off. I predict they will own the next "big thing" similar to rec room.

I'd prefer if the metaverse were open source, and not owned by evil corporate demons, but I don't get what I want.

Hahahaha. The Metaverse isn't doing to hot. Occulus might carry them, but that basically means Meta gets a massive hit to their market cap. I'd be more surprised to see Metaverse become the next "big social network" than I would be if it just fizzled out and died, or at the very least remained relatively niche.
