The rapid decline of Instagram from a meaningful platform to connect with my friends and family to a wasteland of ads and influencers gives me confidence that Meta will eventually die.

The company does not understand how to build products that delight people. Every one of their major verticals was either stolen, copied, or purchased. The organization hasn't learned how to delight users at scale.

They are excellent at monetizing social networks. Once they have a product and an audience they know how to extract dollars and eventually squeeze it dry.

Rather than building a synergistic relationship with their users they've opted to become parasite of our attention.
