Well you see, engagement is down, and the whole "sponsored content" thing is in a death spiral due to AI slop. So Meta has decided to cut out the middleman and generate their own AI slop, because surely their version of personalised AI slop will solve the whole engagement problem and keep line always going up, because if it's one thing users love, it's an endless torrent of AI slop.
