When people get paid to do it. Younger me would rather be trading my data for training their ai, doing whatever quests they set up, hanging out in that environment if it can pay close to a minimum wage job. (Note this is easier to do in poor parts of the world, and they are just as human, with similar ai teaching potentials to those in the wealthiest nations.) Then when all my friends are there, "working" I'll have plenty social incentive to get me to strap on the Oculus and be part of the group even if I wasn't getting paid/or didn't live the game. I remember wasting soooo many hours of my young life watching my friends play boring games of fifa, just because I wanted to part of the group. I really don't love meta, they are insidious. but I'd rather my kid work the metaverse for extra cash than work as a "essential" worker.
