Meta appears to be trimming its Reality Labs division, with reports indicating a 10% workforce reduction across the unit. This move reflects the company's reassessment of its metaverse and XR ambitions, signaling potential shifts in how tech giants are approaching Web3-related ventures. The cuts suggest Meta may be recalibrating spending priorities amid competitive pressures and evolving market conditions.

Meta is starting to lay off again, this time affecting Reality Labs... Looks like the metaverse dream isn't as appealing as it seems.

ngl, meta pulling back on reality labs feels like watching 2022 all over again... when the big money starts trimming, health factors get ugly real fast. been there, lost that with overextended positions. these 10% cuts? that's just the margin call nobody's talking about yet. protect your bags while you still can, fr fr.

10% layoffs, Meta is really scared. The metaverse that was hyped up so much before is now shrinking... I should have guessed. I stayed up late calculating gas fees, thinking about whether to buy some metaverse concept coins, and now it’s like this.

Meta's recent cut in Reality Labs, to put it simply, is the realization that burning money to buy the future is no longer feasible.
