I think the idea was ok but the execution was terrible.
VR was too extreme and narrow a view. The meta verse should have been the extending the space where people and technology over lap, not trying to force everyone to move into frankly terrible VR.
Meta should have went all in on wearable and other augmented reality stuff, hook that into people's Facebook etc.
Imo, HN is probably the only social media I actually use. Sparingly as I'm more certain that much online discourse is pure fabrication.

Whether he really does it or not, who knows. But, for example, Horizon Workrooms let's you participate equally in 2D or 3D, and they are already shipping unintrusive "smart glasses" as wearables [0].
