I hate this. @mosseri Meta should democratize their products instead of alienating 95% of their non-paying consumers. This doesn't seem like long-term thinking by Zuck. https://twitter.com/...

Meta announces Meta Verified, offering a blue badge, impersonation protection, and customer support for $12 per month on the web or $15 per month on iOS
Good morning and new product announcement: this week we're starting to roll out Meta Verified — a subscription service that lets …
This type of superficial status gain is going to be a smash hit on IG. It's going to be much more popular than on twitter I just wonder what this means in the social ecosystem. This creates a 2nd-class citizen group that will receive fewer features Not sustainable long term imo https://twitter.com/...

I am coming to the realization that $META will not curbe down their costs. Or they will in 2024. This is devastating. But in the long term, it doesn't matter. It's clear that FOA is Strong -Increased engagement -Increased DAU/MAU worldwide -Increased Time Spent
Meta - Investor Relations

I'm understand by the day why $META is spending so much on their ai supercluster. I understand it's use cases for the metaverse, but will it show results for ad attribution?

Full body tracking with only Headset and Controllers as input. That's with Quest 2 controllers, not even Cambra controllers (with cameras of their own) Quest has a history of introducing software that makes the product much better. Impressive stuff! https://twitter.com/...

Meta launches Music Revenue Sharing to let US creators include licensed music in their 60+ second Facebook videos and earn a 20% share of in-stream ad revenue
@taychikeng Is there an alternative to TT in China when it comes to short form video? IG is bigger and monetize better than TT. But I do agree that the users on TT is so big that content creators cant ignore it, and marginal cost to post on both platforms is practically 0
