Great to see the beginning of the end of Meta / Facebook with their first revenue miss.

Hopefully their metaverse play is a costly fatal distraction that will ultimately lead them to lose more money while lots of people run away from using their platform.

The fact they are ruining their own product [0] to compete with TikTok shows that they have completely run out of ideas.

There is no saving Facebook / Meta this time.

Lower revenue than Q2 of 2021 and higher expenses. They're on track to have significantly lower net income this year than last year. Au revoir, Facebook.

They are still a very powerful part of interpersonal communication - friends and family.

The only way forward is for them to kick out Mark, stop the insanity that is Metaverse, focus on their core and play nice with the platforms and regulators.

Like I said before, the premature death of Meta Platforms constantly screamed here and even orchestrated and parroted by the mainstream media, has been greatly exaggerated.

Still profitable in a market downturn even with rising inflation fears causing everyone else in big tech to slightly miss expectations. DAUs, MAUs up again and they will be here for another 10+ years like it or not.

It's business as usual folks.

Yeah as much as I hope they go the way of the dodo I think they're far too big to die soon. MySpace wasn't anywhere close to their size when it died. That being said it doesn't mean we can't hope and pray for such things. ;-)

Well, the trend is that the successor is worse.

Looks at TikTok...

They’re still printing money. It’s hardly the end. People said this about Microsoft for years when they missed mobile, and look at them now.
