I am so turned off by the metaverse hype. The idea clearly aims at dominating our lives in order to squeeze money out of us. I despise that kind of dependency. It's just an awful idea. On the flipside, Facebook should burn some billions on this idea and finally fail at the complexity of realizing it.
- meltedcapacitor 5y agoThe idea transcends walled gardens though. If it was a good idea, pluralistic and open variations on same would be possible.
- einrealist 5y agoI doubt it will break walled gardens. Why should Meta/Facebook create the only Metaverse and why should they care about interoperability (probably not feasible anyway)? My fear is bigger walled gardens (metaverses) and services / devices that you cannot use anymore without being connected to them. Fans of decentralized things should worry.
