Damn. My family use Memojis heavily!

[amiantos]

Don't worry, most people on Hacker News have no real idea how normal everyday people use tech products. This person thinks Memojis are unused, but they just lack perspective.

What do you mean? Obviously normies all browse the web in emacs and write their own plugins in elisp.

Or maybe you lack perspective, because maybe some people use it in your circle, but otherwise it’s very unpopular?

Observational fallacies work both ways.

100% of my social circle works outside tech, and nobody uses memojis

The world is bigger than just the US of A. Memojis are big among the teen set elsewhere.

If the amount of internet content regarding Memojis is to be a judge, Memojis might as well not exist at all.

From my broad circle in the US and Europe, I know one person who sends one maybe once a quarter.

Wait till you find out where Apple makes >50% of its revenue ;)

[gffrd]

Pray tell, where should we be talking about?

The point is that Apple trades in part on being fashionable.

Lots of people use Facebook but virtually nobody considers Facebook to be fashionable.

Meta doesn't care if Facebook is fashionable, but the more Apple looks like Meta, the bigger the opening for being disrupted on that front gets.

They’re wildly popular with the kids in my orbit especially 6-12
