The Wall Street Journal looked at internal corporate records and found that Horizon Worlds, Meta’s consumer-facing flagship metaverse, is not performing up to expectations.

Meta’s initial goal was to have 500,000 monthly active users in Horizon Worlds by the end of the year, but the actual number is currently less than 200,000.

The records also revealed that after their first month on the site, the majority of users stopped using Horizon, and that trend has continued since spring, according to the Journal.

Just 9% of worlds are visited by at least 50 people, and the majority are never even viewed, according to the study.

    Is not the first time when we see this kind of innovation fall down , google glass also went through the same experience, it was rejected by users even though the technologies was very useful .is a sign that tells to those big companies that we refuse to live an artificial life far from our natural life .
