Meta's metaverse bet continue to bleed billions of dollars

Meta's Reality Labs division, responsible for metaverse products and services, reported a loss of $3.7 billion in Q3 2023, up from $2.8 billion in Q2. Despite CEO Mark Zuckerberg's belief in the future of the metaverse, the division has yet to generate significant revenue, with Q3 revenue at just $285 million, down 26% YoY. Since its launch in 2019, the division has incurred losses totaling $10.2 billion in 2021 and $13.7 billion in 2022. The success of Meta's investment remains uncertain, as the metaverse's popularity may not meet Zuckerberg's hopes.
