I really dislike their appropriation of the word meta, metaverse etc. Can we please have a public campaign to rename it to something like metaface or metabook or metaplasteradsinyoface ? It's a disgrace really. Especially they way that their keynotes failed to mention any of the hundreds of projects before them.

- dylan604 5y agoSure, as soon as you raise enough money to combat their war chest, you can do whatever you want. Otherwise, your dislike bounces off of their teflon-like suit coated with "I don't care about you".

- dylan604 5y agoIn this case, money is power and big tech has all the money. The field is tilted in their favor in an even more extreme manner than David v Goliath. No mere mortal could even afford to fight them via litigation. Fighting them legislatively is also Sisyphean as they can afford much better lobbyists. Sometimes, perception is reality.
- cblconfederate 5y agoi was just making a meta comment but honestly you re describing a system that would be self-annihilating if one has no legal recourse from money. I don't think that's the case or else america would be a bad place for business The rest of the world doesnt depend on US courts. Apple has lost trademark battles before.
- bmitc 5y agoUnfortunately, it's not a perception. It's practical reality. I'm in full agreement regarding their coopting of the word meta.
- mxmilkiib 5y agoI've seen metaverse-interesred folk somewhere on Reddit say they might move to saying "hyperverse" instead.
