    Meta is probably screwed already. Their user base is not growing as before, maybe shrinking in some markets, and they need the padding to cover it up.

      Very true.

      But also so stupid because their user base is, what, a good fraction of the planet? How can they grow?

        38% of the population as user. 20% daily active users. The classic way to grow is to squeeze the users and advertisers more and more with fees, subscriptions, tiers, … I guess the exodus at X has them spooked of what could happen if they continue with that plan, so they’re trying this AI thing.
