Do you know about Facebook Watch, their streaming service with real original TV shows? Their switch from 'just' a social network was years and years ago

Didn’t know they had original TV shows, but I thought at least they will build social features into Watch.

Shopping on the other hand, is a private and individualistic activity.

I feel this is far removed from their core mission.

Some people go to malls as a social activity. Others like to read product reviews by people (sometimes well known bloggers), or watch youtube videos. Sometimes people even ask their friends for product recommendations. Shopping is to some a very social thing.

Not for me. Especially if I'm buying something fun/non-boring.

For luxury, apparel and experiential, likes and engagement drive interest while more reviews deter interest as who aspires to own something everyone has already?
