In a Meta memo titled “AR, VR or the Metaverse: Which is the next billion-user platform?”, Dare Obasanjo, lead product manager for Horizon and the metaverse platform, wrote: “You will have freedom of identity and expression and can hang out, work, play, learn, shop, create and more in an endless number of virtual worlds that could not exist in real life.”
, Meta’s Metaverse Vice President Vishal Shah wrote that the core thesis for the metaverse has proven to be strong. But stability issues and complaints from creators, he said, are “making it too hard for our community to enjoy the magic of Horizon.” One user who was flirting with a woman in the crowd was interrupted by what appeared to be his real-life girlfriend yelling obscenities at him in the background.
Beginners, however, can run into trouble. Carlos Silva, a 41-year-old IT project manager in Maryland, bought a Quest 2 and joined Horizon early last year hoping to find more social interaction during the pandemic. On the first day, when he went to the main meeting space, no one was there. Meta’s researchers found that, though many of Horizon’s early creators became unengaged, they could be won back. “Many say they would return if pain points are fixed,” read one memo about creation attrition.
I thought the AI Meta general practitioner by now would be heard pounding on doors. Not a sci-fi version but using big data, user images, video, sound(big possibilites), affirming and negating questioning, and do better than 90% of doctors on 50% of symptoms and know which meta
Meta must be a process toward a real revelation of sad people who seek emptiness.
Great News! I hate FB!
Finding Mark in there is no doubt a disincentive.
'Why isn't anybody using the thing that nobody asked for?'
We don't want to live in a Bruce Willis 'Surrogates' movie!!! GTFOHWTBS!!!
And? lol
Ahahha
They'll probably address the core failing eventually, that it has no real appeal to the mainstream. What's its purpose? Nothing discernable yet. Oof.
an empty world is a quiet world with plenty of parking
nice ✨ hope they continue to struggle in making the metaverse lmao jus go play a videogame or discord call ur friends, it's not a new thing
Excellent.
This is hilarious, I wouldn't want it any other way
It's too clean, controlled, and advertiser friendly to ever work.
Lol, lmao even
Racism is the real world is enough
lol
Great News! I use Twitter so much more.
Too early. Microsoft made the tablet in 2003 yet they failed
For those who want to read it without wsj obnoxious paywall: googlechrome & firefox:
Put that on the Oops list, too. $META
LOL - this was bound to happen with metaverse , personally i would not be able to bear even 5 minutes of it
Its a poor mans Minecraft
🤣🤣🤣 It is quite questionable whether artificial ripe apples will taste right. HHH
With things like Second Life and VrChat.... Add Facebook management to it.... Of course it is going to flop.
Lol
It won’t be long before the new “metaverse” exhibit is unveiled to the public, alongside “Colgate Beef Lasagna,” in the Museum of Business Failures
Maybe start with avatars that aren’t missing half a body
We can't even tolerate zoom, why on earth would I want to exchange the beautiful real world, for Transformer's Beast Wars level graphics?!
Guy is a weird creep. Who wants him in their home?
Hilarious. It’s like Sims with better graphics. Still, it’s a stupid idea.
On the contrary it's been a huge success. It was Zuckerberg's way to shift the conversation from all the scandals Facebook was embroiled in.
Facebook is dead.
I haven't trusted this company for years.
Do people really want to spend time in a virtual world filled with video game looking characters? Maybe ARVR
And NO FEET
Shame on you WSJ for indulging in fake anti India propaganda. 😡
rcc As bad as this world can get, I have never thought “I would feel much better in a world controlled by Mark Zuckerberg.”
Hot or Not ….I guess NOT.
Just unplug it already!
Suckersburg is a sad world, only good thing about him is his wife, who he will not come and get after I put her out on porch
Good
World is right out the door and it’s certainly not boring.
I really would have been surprised if this would be successful…
Biggest scam in history.
I don't know what's sadder. A hot girl summer rooftop pool party with no babes or a murder village with no victims.
Stillborn idea, was doomed to fail
No one wants to hang out in cyberspace with that weird VR Zuckerberg.
It's not a 'world', it's a 10+ year old video game... a bad one.
Have you become financially ill that you dont have money to pay your employees soo you slam Mighty India for your daily food. wall street journal
Experts confirm what everyone predicted. No one is surprised.
Nobody wants to be in Mark's dystopian world, and this is exactly why the Elon Twitter deal must move on… it’s a ray of light in these dark times!!!
…a problematic nerdy rich white dude trying to get you to buy into 1990s version of the future? What could possibly be the problem? Karen’s aren’t going to want to put on an uncomfortable headset that’s doing to mess up their asymmetrical bob.
Duh….
Someone tell Kim Jon Zuckerberg he made a terrible decision, someone must have the power to bring sense to the great dictator of Facebook 😅
Facebook is awful. I think of anything worse than spending time in his metaverse. Besides, everyone is in Decentraland💁♂️ $Mana mana
Maybe in a dystopian future, but reality still has much more to offer
