> Don't use it then? You can't 'choose' your way out of this system (e.g. IP laws), that seems like a somewhat naive take. Technology and science (or culture in this metaverse case) being commoditized means the working class live with a plundered commons. A commons stripped of meaningful alternatives, and even if alternatives are possible they are quickly turned into a rent-seeking commodity, and the sharing of it criminalized. In my eyes, you making this suggestion means you're likely not feeling the same level of alienation and you're able to live comfortably? In other words, you can live without it due to your position as labor aristocrat. The metaverse will be just like Facebook free basics: digital colonialism.
