Facebook On The Edge Of Its Survival

Facebook is fighting for survival, but it will not die as a result of influence and pressure. To rescue a dwindling user base, Zuckerberg is relying largely on the “metaverse.” He has always recognized that controlling a large hardware platform is critical to Facebook’s future.

Last week’s brand shifts its name from “Facebook to Meta”. Let’s see if customers embrace it and make it a reality – the fate of Meta/Facebook is at risk.

If Facebook’s purchase history is any indication, Zuckerberg’s plan will be a success, even though Facebook’s most profitable purchases, such as WhatsApp and Instagram, had already been established social achievements when they were bought. Going all in on the “metaverse” creates a new framework and concept that, despite several hype cycles spanning 30 years of enthusiasm, has been tragically sluggish to gain attraction.
