It is dead, but I think regardless of AR/VR the main issue was to make it a marketing/corporation/consumerism world, facebook has been profitable for advertising, like internet, but the first citizen were not corporation, corporation arrived after, when the first citizen moved for the counterculture, punk, science, porn, memes, etc. You can't really create the next new big thing and expect the "non-geek" to move there first, they move at the end, and corporations right after, Zucky just inverted the order of the populating the platform
