A new Wall Street Journal report has shown that Meta struggles to keep users engaged with glitchy features and empty worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a $400 price tag to access the platform via the Quest 2 headset, the metaverse isn’t yet accessible to the casual user. Those who do get a chance to try the tech experience baffling branded content, persistent bugs, and empty worlds with no user interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even employees are not able to enjoy the full features of meta\u2019s metaverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a Wall Street Journal report, last month, in response to user complaints, Meta had put the Horizon platform into “lockdown” \u2014 pausing the rollout of new features while it works to improve the user experience of existing elements in the virtual reality world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Users have criticized the avatars’ curious lack of legs as well as having few other users to interact with. Internal statistics, as reported by WSJ, indicate that only 9% of worlds built by users are ever visited by at least 50 people, while most never receive any visits at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some female users also report sexual harassment and digital groping, prompting Meta to institute a safety feature that creates a virtual 4-foot buffer around avatars on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WSJ further reported men outnumber women by two to one on the platform and that \u2014 while reporting \u2014 a WSJ staff member was asked to expose herself by a user she interacted with online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per the report, internal documents show Meta has fallen far short of its goals for regular monthly users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
