Didn't you forget that Facebook did that and everybody hated it?

Also apple did that with memoji and everybody seems to be using it.

I'd say these are mainly popular among people who could be categorized as Apple enthusiasts; I've seen these on various Apple-related discord servers, news sites like macrumors or mastodon, bluesky profiles.

Nobody from my friends who happens to own an iPhone uses memoji avatars - they either prefer plain "old" pictures in their avatars or no avatars at all. Maybe not everyone wants to look like a cartoon character - I wouldn't be surprised if this could be perceived as childish behavior on levels of using anime avatars.

100%

having a memeoji avatar indicates you're a tech person like having an anime avatar indicates you like anime

Here another data point from someone who should be in the everybody collection; I know 0 people who use that.

[thih9]

I don’t know anyone using it. Are there any stats?

If anything, I’m associating cartoon avatars with Meta, I see more of them on fb and Instagram.

[wingworks]

I always assumed the younger users use it. But I have no stats on it.

[KptMarchewa]

Everybody?

[cududa]

Yes.

[matsemann]

I've even no idea what you're talking about?

[nightfly]

Did it _poorly_ and everybody hated it

[dartos]

Meta did a bad job at it.
