That is because investors don't see a good future for that company. It is basically failing on all fronts.

this is response to this comment:

> We're not in a recession. Yet. Google and Facebook are ahead of the curve and mostly using the headlines to shake things up internally right now.

which has nothing to do with investors

In case you're not aware, your response is heavily implying that FB's stock falling is proof of a recession. That's why they responded by clarifying that the drop is due to future outlook of investors and not the economy at large.

It's not, the OP said that they were ahead of the curve, and I pointed out that their stock halved.

I do believe we're in a recession though, but Meta's stock is not going to show you that.
