The Metaverse is DEAD

Did you guys hear that the Metaverse officially shut down lmao

Zuckerberg sunk billions into it and still couldn’t convince anyone this was the future.

Som bro I heard about spent six figures on metaverse properties because of those claims.

I never understood what it was all about or what's the point in it

I read about it at various points.

Zuckerberg seemed to want it to be the standard for work and personal space. I think he envisioned a future where people wore headsets for work meetings so that they could “see” each other in a virtual place.

Yeah, it was crazy... In the past everyone used Second Life and now VR Chat is popular. It's very niche. Nobody would use that crap he made. Actually Google and also Sun Microsystems tried to make their own in early 2000s but also didn't succeed to outcompete then-popular Second Life.

It was a VR experiment gone wrong. Apple on the other hand are really acing this Industry by comparison. Interestingly, regarding the whole avatar thing, I recently learned of a platform that lets you do this called Secondlife you build your guilds and societies but can view them on a ordinary monitor, and it's predates Meta by about two decades so Meta can't claim that it was there idea, which I imagined they might have tried.
