Meta has made a major cut to its Reality Labs division, trimming roughly 10% of the workforce—around 1,500 employees. This unit spearheads the company's push into virtual and augmented reality tech. The move signals a strategic shift in how the company is approaching its metaverse ambitions and VR/AR development priorities. Such large-scale restructuring in this space raises questions about the current state of immersive technology adoption and where major tech players are placing their bets.

Meta is shifting the blame again; Reality Labs is definitely doomed this time.

Old Ma has still given up on the metaverse. With 1,500 people saying layoffs, it's true that Web3 is not really profitable.

1,500 people get off, the metaverse dies again? But based on my analysis, this seems more like Meta adjusting its bets, after all, they've spent so much money on VR and it still hasn't taken off...
