I have a theory that it's all a facade, and Facebook is using the metaverse to attract investors / publicity and/or hide funding. Either that or Zuck / Facebook execs are just in a massive echo chamber. Just like crypto enthusiasts. Yeah it looks bad to us but they're so deluded they literally don't realize.

I would argue HN is the biggest echo chamber in tech. The hive mind is very strong here

  In what ways do you see it as being strong?

      IMHO, that's a shallow read of nuanced debates.

      And in those posts you see plenty of discussion with pro/anti arguments. It's not a hivemind just because people have strong opinions you disagree with.

a16z is crypto central now and they're funding Adam Neumann, everything's even more of a facade- or farce- than it has been in past years. Is that what happens right before a bubble bursts?
