To me this Metaverse thing seems just a nice story to tell people who have no engineering knowledge at all (investors, shareholders et al), and sell them this sci-fi movie idea.
It is just yet another "second life" (remember that?) software stack, plugged with social networks - the worst of the two worlds.
I've jumped ship with social media stuff about a decade ago, and seeing how nasty it became, I'm just glad I ditched it.
Pro tip: That common excuse "I use it to keep in touch with family blah blah blah" is not an excuse - you can keep in touch with family if you care about them. If you don't, don't waste everybody's time.

- twelve40 3y agothere is no replacement for keeping in touch with friends from far away and yes, remote parts of family, too - fb or insta. I don't go there much anymore because the endless promoted reels drive me insane, but i do miss that aspect of those services.
