It's a shame the metaverse had to become such a big thing with so much stupid money behind it. There's a kernel of a neat idea in there.

i wonder if how many people actually spoke up and said 'um i don't think many people actually want to use this product' or did they just think it was easier kept their head down, collect their paycheck and go home.

Let's not forget the infamous demo of the Metaverse where Zuck's avatar was jumping and another avatar, a female one, was trying to do high-kicks on high-heels... And it turned out the vid was fake because they hadn't figured out how to do legs yet.
I mean: it was faked, using motion capture, and... it still sucked big times. That vid lives rent-free in my head.
