Imagine the hell of constantly being reminded about your biggest failure because you changed the name of your company to that failure. It's as if Ford had changed its name to Edsel.

Had forgotten about “virtual reality”.

Actual reality since the 2021 rebrand has been more entertaining and compelling than anything “virtual” could have been.

It makes sense that the business community is moving on from VR as a potential profit center.

He also gave up on Global Warming and lost his wife.

He’s having quite a run of “bad luck”.

,,, I was under the impression that he changed the name from Facebook to Meta because Facebook became synonymous with slave trading in the middle east, youth suicides and genaral toxic activity. Get those issues solved in the real world before conquering the virtual world - and it may cost less than $70b to achieve that. Still, Zuckerberg can claim one thing: he’s on par with the UN for taking in a whole lot of money to go very little distance.

I have a Quest 2 vr headset.
I was super excited when I got it but after a few hours I barely have used it since.
Impressive technology but I found it to be something of a pita...

All because nobody was willing to tell the big boss he was crazy.

Facebook and Google are worldwide monopolistic advertising companies. Prove me wrong.

Does this mean he’s going to shut it all down?

He flooded Facebook with ads and censured anyone with a conservative view. Still seems to be doing that with the algorythm making posts appear buried at the bottom of the page. To connect with friends and family is very difficult at times, missing quite a lot of conversations, photos, he has no care at all for the people on there who are trying to stay connected to people that matter to them.

Meta Horizon Worlds product and Quest VR headset
Never even heard of these.

I do realize some people wear a goofy headset and stumble around "hitting a tennis ball" or some such.

Children need to get outside in the sunshine (or snow) and play.

Zuckerberg likely thought people were going to pay for a more “interactive” experience, especially pornography, and that he could capitalize on it.

He put The Pigbook on-line and it made him enormously wealthy.

Doesn't mean he knows jack about anything else, least of all in the realm of computer science.

The stock has done really well. This reads like a sour grapes right wing article.

Sure. I’m going to walk around with a 10-pound block strapped to my head and watch ‘virtual places’ with other players - who are mostly zombie characters standing stock still, half a dozen screaming kids, and a lot of other stupid pointless stuff. And pay for it. You bet.
