Yup. The Facebook brand was long dead, and Meta is a good tech name even outside of AR/VR or metaverse. The fact that no one calls the company Facebook anymore shows that the rebrand was successful.

Very few outside of tech call it Meta. Just like no one calls Alphabet "Alphabet", they just say "Google".

I still see people refer to “FAANG” regularly. Though, there have been times I’ve read “MAANG”… doesn’t quite feel the same.

Don't they? I have to remind myself that it's actually called Meta, I always call it facebook.
