Ask HN: Is Meta Going to Take over the World?

Consider these very plausible, imminent outcomes.

- TikTok gets banned in many countries, users mostly move to Instagram rather than YouTube.

- Twitter collapses, users move to Threads.

- Reddit deteriorates at a modest rate.

- Meta buys out at least one WhatsApp competitor (Discord? Telegram?).

- Generative mods hide or degrade swathes of the "Googlable" internet, which Meta has more resources to combat.

... That leaves Meta with a disturbing amount of world's social media marketshare.
