Many people left Meta after Zuckerberg's changes, but user numbers have rebounded

 Yes, Meta experienced significant changes under Mark Zuckerberg's leadership, especially with the company's pivot toward the metaverse and investments in AI and virtual/augmented reality. These shifts led to organizational restructuring, layoffs, and some employees leaving voluntarily. However, the platforms under Meta (like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp) have maintained strong user engagement.


For example:

  • Facebook's user base continues to grow in regions like Asia and Africa, offsetting stagnation or decline in mature markets.
  • Instagram remains a top choice for younger audiences, especially with features like Reels competing with TikTok.
  • WhatsApp remains the leading messaging app globally.

Meta's investments in AI for personalized recommendations and content curation have helped attract users back, especially as competition in social media continues to rise. Would you like more details on any specific aspect of Meta's strategies or user trends?
