I can’t think of a single thing Meta does that isn’t driven by pure greed.

Yes, though Meta is a bad example as they started off with the values of Zuckerberg, and still have them.

Exactly right. But i think it makes it a good example actually. Company DNA is a thing. Bill Gates isn't running microsoft anymore. Still...

What would be more appropriate example?

All of Meta's VR stuff should rationally be cut loose and refunded if it were all about greed. That stuff only survives because Zuck is a nerd who wants it to happen (but it's not going to.)

Well, they were just totally doing it the wrong way - with the result being ugly corporate distopia. They could haver just looked at what paople are using VR for & improved it to succeed.

VRChat is thriving and some other similar envronments being quite popular as well.

Just give people something that they actually want and make it nice and people will like it - huge surprise!

Oh sure. I don't want to say everybody are driven by ideals and not greed, but that even people with strong ideals and good intentions can do a lot of bad by being blinded by those same ideals.
