Throwing things and seeing which ones stick is essentially how most tech billionaires made their fortunes. You become rich either by being very lucky and getting things right the first few tries or by being able to afford to fail more times than your competitors. Your last line actually says more about you being clueless about Silicon Valley than Meta being clueless about what a successful product is.Facebook got one thing right on their own or at least successful, that was Facebook itself.
All the rest has been riding on purchasing the ascending trend, they did it with Instagram, and they did it with WhatsApp.
They failed with Snapchat (which nowadays looks itself not well) and TikTok.
In the end they are just throwing money around trying to find the next hit. And they look somewhat clueless.
Most people on planet Earth can't even get their first Facebook right.
