    Yes and?

    Facebook was marketing their virtual office space stuff during covid. In the infinite wisdom of Zuck, that’s the best use of the tech today.

      My point is …what was the plan before COVID? What did VR have to do with social networking?

        I don’t think he had a plan in the beginning. These people aren’t pioneers. They got lucky once, get labeled as a trend setter and then you have to try and maintain that image. VR was going the next big thing, so Zuck bought a company without a plan. Tech companies do that all the time. They see themselves falling behind on something and just buy some random company to appease the shareholders/press.

        The VR office thing was just the limits of Zuck own creativity and saw covid as an opportunity to keep their product relevant.
