WSJ разобрал внутренние документы Meta (признана экстремистской в России) и опубликовал отчёт по виар-направлению, из которого следует, что всё плохо.
Количество уникальных пользователей Horizon Worlds более чем в два раза меньше, нежели планировалось к концу этого года. Возвращаемость очень низкая. Более половины купленных VR-очков Quest пылятся на полках (у меня не Quest, но тоже пылится). Большинство миров ни разу не посещено, и только 9% посещено хотя бы пятьюдесятью людьми. Расходы рекламодателей снижаются, акции компании за год упали на 62%.
Тут возможны два варианта:
1. Цукерберг гений, а падение лишь временное перед мощным скачком вверх. В какой-то момент и платформу допилят, и критическая масса людей наберётся, и мы все очень быстро переместимся в виар.
2. Цукерберг сделал плохую ставку, но не готов (пока) это признать. Виар высосет из компании ещё больше ресурсов, но никакого значимого изменения не будет.
Надо сказать, что и привязка к Фейсбуку не идёт этой теме на пользу. Даже в англоязычном мире отношение к ФБ неоднозначное. Много было скандалов с воровством данных и всякими нелепыми банами.

Some snippets from Greta’s interview after being deported by Israeli authorities. Continue fighting for Palestinians in Gaza, including those in wider Palestine who are unlawfully imprisoned, including over 400 children.

Lara, speaking from Brazil, has had no contact with her husband, Thiago Ávila, since he was abducted and detained illegally by Israeli forces from the 'Madleen'. Since then, Thiago has been placed in solitary confinement, denied communication with his family.
According to Lara, Israeli authorities threatened Thiago with the psychological torment of isolation without light or ventilation. Despite this, Thiago remains on hunger strike, holding firm to his belief in justice for Palestinians and the right of every child to food, safety, and freedom.
From his prison cell, he wrote a letter to his 1-year-old daughter. Lara generously shares that with us today.
This is a call not just for Thiago’s release—but for the world to pay attention to Gaza, to Palestine, and to all people who are exploited, forced to live under occupation.

Freedom Flotilla Official Update: It's time for our governments to do their jobs and sanction Israel. Its illegal attack on 'Madleen' while sailing in international waters is a small extension of their war crimes in Gaza. Governments, institutions, media, and corporations must stop protecting Israel, now. They must stop prioritising profit over human lives, now. Protect our volunteers while protecting Palestinians in Gaza and wider Palestine.

Yanis Mhamdi, from his prison cell: “If I had to do it all over again, I'd do exactly the same thing”.
Illegally detained in Israel since the attack on the “Gaza Freedom Flotilla” in international waters, journalist Yanis Mhamdi sent us a letter, written from his prison cell, before news had reached him of a possible one month extension due to Israel's attacks on Iran.

"Families of Gaza are not less important than my family. It’s by mere chance that we are not one of those families that are in Gaza right now."
Thiago Ávila, father and activist aboard 'Handala', will sail towards Gaza with an urgent mission: to break the illegal siege and stand with the children of Gaza. 'Handala' is a small boat, but it carries the weight of a global uprising for justice. As catastrophic famine unfolds across Gaza, evidence of heinous sexual and physical violence by the IOF continues to emerge, and the Israeli and U.S.-backed genocide persists with impunity, people power is more integral than ever—it’s up to us to shape a new society.
The world must not turn its eyes away. Keep your eyes on 'Handala'. Share our mission, amplify Palestinian voices, and do everything you can to stand for Gaza. The flood of change is coming—be part of it. #FreedomFlotilla#Handala#FreePalestine#Gaza#AllEyesOnDeck#FreeGaza#WeWillSail#Thiago#Brazil#HumanRights#Genocide#IOF
Our objectives—to break the blockade and raise awareness of the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza—remain unchanged. We will provide updates on our next departure when we are ready to sail again.
In the meantime, we urge you to join the #NoHarbourForGenocide campaign to take action against the siege on Gaza by opposing every country and company complicit in this genocide. #handala#ffc#freedomflotillacoalition#freegaza#freepalestine#endtheoccupation#breakthesiege#endtheblockade#iof#warcrimes#icc#icj
