Oof, another $4 billion in the hole for Reality Labs. I really want VR to succeed but seeing the biggest player by far still struggling to find any path to profitability (or even breaking even) after iterating on it for a decade makes it hard to be optimistic.

Results look good to me, EPS about double yoy, reality labs still losing billions. Stock down 12% after hours though so I must be missing something I guess

guidance not that great, also crowded trade

Revenue down from last quarter but q4 is usually good for adtech I think. Next quarters guidance seems decent to me but I guess market was expecting more. q1 2023 was definitely a bit of a low point for meta so the yoy stats might be a bit misleading but hard for me to be upset about anything here. Ad impressions up 20% again somehow lmao

I’m not sure it’s a good business strategy, but I am glad to see ad money fueling more interesting tech than more profitable ads.

Don’t worry. The ads come once they establish themselves as the dominant player.

Well, there's still no killer app. The productivity use case is a gimmick. Apple vision pro is also not selling well. The big promise is entertainment but it's not there yet.
