I find it weird that not everyone agree Meta and Facebook and social networks in general are doing some good the the society and our democracies; yet they manage to spend incredible amount of money/energy/time to develop solutions to problems we aren't exactly sure are worth solving…

What is worth solving in your opinion? Should they not make their service more efficient?

I assume this helps reduce their server and electricity costs. At a certain scale these things pay off.

If all this turns out to be useless, burning their cash for nothing seems like a great way to accelerate tech while going down. I guess that would actually be a positive thing.
