re: What exactly is the goal of Meta?

you can see it right now. the link below is to an application that serves video content similar to youtube. the first thing you'll notice is there are no advertisements. monetization is not reliant on collecting user data and selling ads. the second thing you'll notice is you do not give any personal information to set up an account. all you need is a yubikey. completely anon. and the content is served and stored 100% on blockchain. encrypted, immutable, uncensored. and it is not reliant on AWS, google, microsoft, etc. and the cost of hosting is cheaper than any competitor. just check the url; its a smart contract address so you believe me. most of the content is geek in nature right now. think early internet of the 90s. its the wild west. but this is just one example. there are 100s of apps similar to this. and 1000s more coming. and it will only take one to break through to normies. then the drip will turn into a tsunami.
