>> There's no attempt to create a single, wide-ranging social media platform, with payments, video, shorts, DMs, and more

Umm.. Facebook? Just offering all those features doesn't mean much though, you really have to be dominant in each one, since there's much less moat to debundling consumer apps vs enterprise

Their platforms are siloed off. The point of a mega app is that it's not siloed off; the reels, videos, DMs and tweets would be part of the same experience, and rely on the same usernames, hence the moat.

How dystopian. Why not just build the matrix and be done with humanity.

Having more competition for YouTube and WhatsApp doesn't seem so dystopian to me?
