Meta is losing to competitors and hoping they can hype the virtual world to be “first” in some weird metaverse that I don’t think will pan out.
So in the meantime, they are shamelessly copying TikTok and calling it bold…

Big and bold: that’s what they call replacing the Instagram feed with a copy of TikTok. I think we could be looking at a massive collapse in just a few years.

Say goodbye to the full-screen feed, and at least some of those recommendations — for now. Adam Mosseri explains why

The investors’ call is the thing to listen to. They don’t care about the users’ complaints unless there’s a mass exodus from their platform; it’s about the investors and advertisers. The recent “sorry we will leave Insta the way it was” is admittedly only temporary, and they will continue putting recycled TikTok videos into everybody‘s “feed” at an increasing rate as they told investors.more sponsored content woven into your personal content

The Facebook feed is already stuffed full of this crud. Why not just drop the user content and label it the ad feed?

Meh
I hope so! The thought of Zuckerberg curled into a ball while wailing "It's just not fair!!!" gives me warm tingles.... I think we could be looking at a massive collapse in just a few years.

Metaverse project Decentraland, a sandbox environment that allows users to buy and sell virtual real estate, isn't exactly teeming with people. Despite billions of dollars in valuations, companies betting on a metaverse future simply haven't made much headway.
In fact, according to data aggregator DappRadar, the Ethereum-based world Decentraland only had 38 "active users" over a period of 24 hours — a confoundingly low number, especially considering the company has a market cap of a whopping $1.2 billion.

Zuck announces the addition of pantyhose. Or something. Because, that will fix everything.

Facebook parent Meta Platforms is making a huge investment in virtual reality, but its actual reality is looking like a real disaster.
Meta shares tumbled 24% on Thursday to its lowest level in nearly four years following an earnings report that one Wall Street analyst described as a "train wreck." It's a far cry from the company's position nearly a year ago, when CEO Mark Zuckerberg on October 28, 2021, announced with great fanfare that Facebook was changing its name to Meta Platforms to emphasize its focus on the "metaverse."
Meta's value has plunged by $700 billion. Wall Street calls it a "train wreck."
A year ago, Facebook's parent company was worth $1 trillion. But a risky bet on the metaverse has investors worried.
