What products has Meta developed internally after Facebook that have been a success? I am actually asking this question, it seems like they have only had success purchasing already ramping products, plowing cash into them, and cross-integrating them into their product set. Why wouldn't they just continue to lean into that profile and wait for people with actual good ideas solve this.

Threads? They have 400m monthly active users and 100m+ daily active users. Though, its userbase likely does not intersect with your interests.

Meta Ray-Ban glasses are also a massive success.

Facebook marketplace killed craigslist, I guess?

Sure, it's part of Facebook but it's not the same as the core product.

Why was it trivial for FB to scale WhatsApp from 450,000,000 users at acquisition to over 3,300,000,000 now?

Seems like an insane achievement to scale a messaging service to half of the world.
