With its new Twitter competitor Threads, Meta could stand to learn from from both recent and ancient history.

Even in that logic, it doesn’t make sense to create products that nobody wants.

They seem to fundamentally not understand, what users actually want - and fulfilling that need would actually make them money. But they can’t fathom what we want.

and fulfilling that need would actually make them money

That’s basically the point I’m trying to make. Users produce the product (data), and by keeping users happy, we produce more of the product, which they can then sell at a better rate.
