Facebook rebranded to Meta and did that whole metaverse song and dance, combined with a big marketing push, to sell Oculus. Zero to do with crypto. Change my mind. Normal people don't actually hate Facebook so it wasn't to get away from that. Looks like their plan worked so far. pic.twitter.com/uBfrnigxXC

App Store rankings are about trajectory and momentum. Oculus is sliding, rightfully. It’s not about overall popularity. pic.twitter.com/xuE9aYTOAA

Holy shit. ?
Obviously there are a lot of young kids who got a Quest this Christmas. Meanwhile Horizon Worlds, the headsets main hub is 18+ I seriously wonder how Meta is going to moderate this.

First big signs of mainstream adopting for $FB VR. I bet on the next earnings call everybody will act surprised but the signs are already here.

I am actually very happy to see Oculus get to this milestone for the first and last time before it becomes/takes over Meta.

Anyway, it’s fun to read that Facebook’s PR/reorg tactic worked well enough to drum up consumer demand for VR tech, but I’m skeptical they’ll be able to keep users interested.

People, this is satire: the App Store data is real...but Google Trends data is a joke (well, its unavailable in the public feed).
