#3 is actually unlikely to be effective due to the well-studied bystander effect (everyone stands around hoping someone else will help). Asking a concrete person is much more likely to get it done.

And yet the Metaverse is the punching bag of any discussion about Meta, despite Zuck throwing the weight of an almost-trillion-dollar company behind this vision. Perhaps a whim is not enough? And if the execution is excellent and the vision

Zuck's Metaverse may not be solving a problem you face, but it is solving one for Zuck (trying to, anyways) - controlling a distribution platform where potential competitors like Apple or Google cannot dictate terms. SpaceX and Starlin
