Don't forget the deranged furries.
They're not all deranged! Some are completely productive, functional furries. Probably. Maybe. Also, your statement is far too reductive! There's plenty of avatars with scales! Also, don't forget the anime girls that are actually middle-aged men and the occasional sentient burrito.
Interesting, cutting way back in the product they renamed the whole company for. They feel a bit directionless to me. They are still making money but even their AI attempt feels half hearted. I think they are really trying but I’m not sure they can build the engineering muscle to move in new areas with the brand damage they’ve sustained.
Though I'm sure many are mercenaries and will work for whoever pays the most.
Maybe I'm just naive but I don't really understand discontinuing things like this. Like, unless there are like 100 people using this, how can it not be possible to just leave this running at like 0.5% of its former capacity. Just leave up like 1 server, collapse all of the DBs into one, and let these few autists have their stuff.
Facebook's strong suit has always been gossip. Why are they even spending for anything else
The problem is that the intersection/suitability of VR and social media is rather low, while as a counterexample the intersection of mobile and social media is very large. I have no desire to chat with old classmates when I "suit up" with VR goggles, I'm there to game.

I meant hundreds of millions on Horizon Worlds specifically. Virtual concerts and the like. Big "Hello Fellow Kids" energy.
Can you blame them? They saw the huge success Fortnite was having in that space. Facebook's core competency is copying other successful products. Sometimes it works.
Where will all those Meta Avatars go? Is there a retirement home in the Metaverse?

> VR is so good and still in it's infancy. I believe 30% of the population cannot use VR in any way shape or form because your inner ear has decided the floor is the only place you can be.
Even for games or experiences with no artificial locomotion whatsoever?
I think that ~30% of the population just has more sensitivity to the mismatch.
