The number of daily users in the Horizon Worlds meta-universe developed by Meta is now just 900 people. This was revealed by YouTube blogger Jarvis Johnson.
Meta claimed that Horizon Worlds, which is valued at $36 billion, is visited by at least 200,000 users a month.
And CEO Mark Zukerberg has set a goal of reaching 500,000 monthly members by the end of 2022
However, an investigation by Jarvis Johnson found that Horizon Worlds has about 900 users per day. He spent a whole week in a meta-universe. The vast majority of users were under 18, he said.
“Kids are massively circumventing the age restrictions that Zuckerberg is poorly adhering to,” Johnson said.
In March, Democratic U.S. senators sent a letter to Meta demanding that it shut off access to Horizon Worlds to those under 17 years old.
They claim that Horizon Worlds could be harmful to the physical and mental health of minors.
