on well established platforms such as facebook and instagram in the face of challenging economic conditions. those concerns have led meta and other tech giants to embark on a cost cutting campaign that has so far resulted in 150,000 lay offs across the sector. for more on meta s results and what they say about the state of big tech let s bring in ray wang, founder of tech advisory firm, constellation research. yeah, they showed that the digital add is fine, yeah, they showed that the digitaladd is fine, and i think that s a really important piece. and what you mentioned earlier is important. advertisers are flocking to the big platforms. if you don t have the users and the eyeballs, they are not going to be there. they were able to keep their monthly active users still at 2.99 billion, almost at 3 billion intact, and they were able to drive sales up 3% and give guidance that was much higher in between the 29.5 billion to 32 billion range. and that is coming on the heels of 20
