Doesn’t even have adoption yet? They’re skipping a couple of steps on the enshitification ladder here

This kind of product should simply be banned, there's just so many things wrong.

Meta's survival is fascinating to me. They dumped money in VR, their AI is not as good as their competitors and now they are dumping money on this glasses thing. They keep on getting caught doing shady things too.

Something doesn’t add up. According to what the article is saying about Meta’s help article, there is no price tier which allows unlimited conversation mode 720 hours/month. Even the highest paid tier can only get 15 hours.
