Damn. My family use Memojis heavily!
- amiantos 3y agoDon'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.
- gffrd 3y ago100% of my social circle works outside tech, and nobody uses memojis
- jnaina 3y agoThe world is bigger than just the US of A. Memojis are big among the teen set elsewhere.
- cromka 3y agoIf 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.
- hnaccount_rng 3y agoWait till you find out where Apple makes >50% of its revenue ;)
- gffrd 3y agoPray tell, where should we be talking about?
- maximus-decimus 3y ago> how normal everyday people use tech products What do you mean? Obviously normies all browse the web in emacs and write their own plugins in elisp.
- cromka 3y ago> This person thinks Memojis are unused, but they just lack perspective. 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.
- fnordpiglet 3y agoThey’re wildly popular with the kids in my orbit especially 6-12
- starkparker 3y agoThe 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.
