Why do all of Zucc companies terms and conditions have this air of desperation and grubbiness about them? ๐
No other services feel as slimy even though they're all doing mostly the same things.
Meta feels like you're interacting with a drug addicted stalker following you home
Because they are desperate. Facebook has NEVER had any good original product ideas. Ever. Everything they've ever done was brought/stolen from somebody else, including Facebook. All the good things Facebook did are their open source stuff like React and GraphQL, which they don't really make money off.
So now, they are running out of ideas to steal/buy, they probably wanted to buy TikTok with Trump's help, but that failed, and they started a TikTok clone in Instagram Reels, that also failed, so they are trying to start a Twitter clone. No original ideas, EVER. It's as simple as that.
Is it safe to say that reels has failed? It definitely didn't eat tiktoks lunch but I've used reels loads without ever using TikTok. I think it largely an age/demographic thing.
It has failed with the demographic they were after, which is TikTok users lol
