Damage is already done.

It takes decades to build consumer trust, and one stupid MBA driven idea to ruin it.

Still living in the 80's?

Seems like you are the one with an outdated model of how money works.

Over the last couple decades it has been moving up at an ever increasing rate instead of down.

And how many of those does Meta have existing revenue and distribution model for?

Its pretty safe to assume that the primary driver of this is data hoovering for selling ads, everything else is just PR spin from the Meta thinktanks.

They send me surveys which show they have preoccupations which are... weird.

They're not happy to have a successful game store, they want me to use a VR headset to determine my schedule. Which I guess is alright, if I can also access my schedule with a desktop computer or a phone. Why I'd want to use VR to determine my schedule is beyond me, I think a 'minority report' kind of interface could be possible but it is 2025 and you'd think people would expect a conversational recommender that works everywhere.

Its hilarious to me how people in these comments still give Meta the benefit of the doubt and think the core feature of this is anything other than blatant data harvesting.
