Imagine being Meta right now. The metaverse fell apart, their newsletters and podcasting didn’t work out, they haven’t been successful in competing with TikTok, and they are plagued with content moderation problems. They then reduced headcount by ~10% in a ~100,000-person company.

A company with 2 billion daily active users, and they’re following Twitter’s paid verification to make more coin. What do Meta employees do all day? Really.

Meta verified fixed a huge problem for power users - support. For everyone else it’s not a feature targeted at you.
