Yeah, I'm also surprised at how many positive comments are in this thread.

I do hate Facebook, but I also love engineers, so I'm not sure how to feel about this one.

One of the many perks of releasing open-ish models, React, and many other widely used tools over the years. Meta might be the big tech whose open source projects are most widely used. That gives you some dev goodwill, even though your main products profit from some pretty bad stuff.

"it's complicated". Remember that? :)

It's also a great way to avoid many classes of bias. One shouldn't aspire to "feel" in any one way. Embrace the complexity.

You're right. It's just, of course, easier to feel one extreme or the other.

I mean they basically invented, popularised and maintained react/react native which I've built my entire career on, I love them for that.
