Pandemic-level revenues not preserved

Zuckerberg In a statement, he assures that this decision is one of the “heaviest” in the history of the company, and assures that he takes responsibility: “I know that this is difficult for everyone, and I especially feel sorry for those affected.”

The COVID-19 pandemic, according to the company’s CEO, caused a significant increase in e-commerce and a “massive increase in revenue” that did not subsequently last.

“Many predicted that this would be a permanent acceleration that would continue even after the end of the pandemic. I thought so too, so I decided to significantly increase our investment. Unfortunately, this did not happen,” he adds.

Now the macroeconomic downturn, increased competition and the loss of advertisers have led, according to Zuckerberg“that our income is much lower than I expected. I was wrong and I take responsibility for it.”

Chapter Target recognizes that the company should focus on fewer sectors, cut costs, and prioritize some divisions, such as the one focused on the AI ​​engine. (As reported by EFE)
