Facebook, which rebranded into Meta, after CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the company will be introducing a Metaverse in 2021, launched Horizon Worlds. Reddit users share their thoughts on it.
Metaverse is defined as the internet of the future where users will be able to switch between virtual worlds seamlessly, the same way we surf from one website to another.
Zuckerberg was ready to join this bandwagon by building a separate platform that brings together businesses, individuals, and governments with a digital economic system.
Meta has been constantly arguing it is building a revolutionary project aka the “VR social experience” but so far it hasn’t made any progress except adding “legs” to the metaverse avatars.

“Why does the metaverse look so bad?” Reddit users are discussing the issue of Meta’s persistence to build this. According to the sources, the company has spent $15 billion to fund Horizon Worlds.
One of the users (@Saintdemon) defended by arguing that the company is trying to achieve a platform that can run on “lower-end hardware and on poorer network-connections.”
Another user claims that Facebook’s VR program wasn’t as successful. So now, Horizon World is an extension of its virtual reality experience for Oculus Quest.
Meta hasn’t revealed its metaverse plans for 2023, the investors hope Zuckerberg lets this project go and does something else. Will he really give up on Metaverse or insist on building even next year?
