This is really great.

This. This is so obvious I can't comprehend how people don't realize this.

1. A huge recession like never before happening before 2025.

2. Facebook Libra becomes prevalent. Others (Google, Apple, Microsoft) follow to have their e-coins.

3. AR and/or VR is the smartphone of the 20s.

4. Facebook becomes the most valuable company in the world first to reach a 2T$ valuation.

> Facebook makes zero effort to protect your grandma

How much effort do you put in to protect your grandma?

Very nice except the fact the whole page breaks for me when using joins.

That wasn't my point. And actually I am not sure what are you trying to say with your reply cause it's not related to what I was saying. My point was that those engineers working on those problems have a good impact on economy as a whole. Efficient engaging ads are great for everyone, it's great for growth.

> To me, if I was promised "the most meaningful work of my career" then I was assigned to anti-ad-blocking I wouldn't feel my Facebook career was delivering on that promise.

Then you could easily just quit.

Can you explain what is wrong with engineers working on problems like these?

As I see this, it allows businesses to connect with more people, therefore being more profitable, therefore making economy grow in general.

I just don't understand this hate towards developers who work for companies like FB and Google and whose job is focusing on increasing ad engagement. In my opinion, they definitely provide a hugely positive effect on economy (unless you think capitalism / consumerism is evil / wrong or whatever, which is another topic).
