Agree. Though, in my outsider perception Alphabet == Google + a bunch of failed stuff + self driving cars.

Whereas Meta == Facebook + an absurd $$$$$ attempt to convince the public wearing headsets is revolutionary + forget about that whole destroying society thing.

At least the self driving cars might have positive net impact.

afaik, Youtube, Android, and many other bits are still technically under Google organizationally. It's mostly the outside investments that ended up under Alphabet (hence the structure).


+ DeepMind?
