> the ambiguity of what "the metaverse" actually means If you root cause on that you come back to, Zuckerberg made a big splash with his announcement and then followed up with .... nothing. As much as anything, these other things were filling a vacuum. Of course it got filled up with toxic garbage. The inexplicable thing to me is purely that Meta has failed to deliver anything closely resembling an experience that represents their own advertised ambitions. Case in point, Horizon Worlds still even now hasn't even launched in my country (near to one of the top 10 economies in the world). How is it even possible that something the company put at existential level of importance hasn't even launched? It's either a massive fail of execution or they never really actually had their heart in it. I do wonder if Zuckerberg's "year of efficiency", flattening of the org structure and refocusing on engineering leadership is in part borne from the reality check of basically failing to deliver on all this at a technical level.
