There is something incredibly seedy about a company like facebook who's revenue model is around advertisement building a whole metaverse.
- krageon 5y agoThe concept of the metaverse is from books describing a dystopia. The fact that people unironically and without context refer to it as part of a vision that deserves to be made reality is so depressing I cannot adequately find the words.

- pjmlp 5y agoDemolition Man future is now.
- stathibus 5y agoHas FB even defined what they mean by "metaverse" yet? What are these 10k people going to actually do? So far the explanation I've heard is basically "VR world app, you know, like the metaverse".
- rchaud 5y agoThe idea of 'virtual worlds' has taken off in free-roam games like Fortnite. So much so that Epic have hosted concerts by Ariana Grande and Travis Scott, where the performance happens inside the game, with the artists represented as 3d avatars. To me, that looks utterly pointless, but then again, I don't understand the appeal of watching other people play games for hours, and that's already proven to be a multi-billion industry somehow.
