Here's a blog post I wrote in response to the acquisition when it happened in 2014: https://medium.com/@shazow/re-facebook-acquires-oculus-f8589...

I was far from the only one who was saying this at the time. I don't believe Facebook had a significantly different reputation in 2014.

I also have a follow-up draft from 2016 that talks about how the things predicted in the blog post have already begun.
