This discounts a lot of failures and products without real success:

- Facebook Apps

- Facebook Home

- Facebook Workplace

- Facebook Portal

- Facebook Essentials

What he's done well: found promising competition and subsumed them.

I think AR is going to be a huge part of the future. I don't think Facebook is going to lead that effort, not because I don't want them to (though I don't), but because they don't have a track record of building anything worthwhile outside of their core offering (ie, the Facebook product).

So what you’re saying is, now would be a good time to be a promising social AR/VR startup?
