VR Chat and Second Life are both there to demonstrate in explicit detail why those concepts won't work.

Is the metaverse even "horrifying"? There's a reason that they're trying so hard to push this on us...because people aren't buying.

Anyone who's had any interest is already doing secondlife porn, or roblox porn.

There is no metaverse. Facebook is a dinosaur who no longer has a product. They survive off of selling information(which many governments will begin to crack down on) and their acquistion of instagram. The future of social media has already passed them by, only old people who will eventually just die still use facebook.

Metaverse is reliant on technology that doesn't even exist in a satisfactory form yet, and some necessary tech actually doesn't exist. Also, their model of linking your real identity to everything goes completely against having a random avatar in an online world.

They're using this meta branding and metaverse horse shit to keep their stock price from freefalling for as long as they can.

I was thinking more that you could show a random clip from either of those to a facebook lawyer who would either quit on the spot or jump out a window at the thought of having to deal with the endless PR nightmares and legal troubles that a metaverse would bring. Half the shit that people do on VR Chat would be the kind of thing a senator would hold up in a congressional hearing to ask Zuck why his company allows it to happen. The fact that they ALREADY had to add personal bubbles because of people being virtually groped just tells me they didn't do their research.

80s - muds
90s - vrml muds
00s - second life, habbo, etc.
10s - vrchat, etc.
20s - metaverse

part of me is skeptical whether this will really take off, but maybe social alienation has hit the proper critical mass

edit: i should note that by 'metaverse' i'm referring to the entire subsector, not facebook's attempt to capitalize on and capture it

They're thinking microtransactions, and all the money it'll bring in. Second Life is like 20 years old, and it's because it makes money, despite being niche. They aren't thinking PR and whatever else, just $$$ and that's it. I think it's dumb, and I'll never join this meta thing... but humanity is becoming more and more reclusive, and physical contact/meeting people randomly at physical venues is not what it is use be. Movies like "Gamer" are pretty accurate portrayals of what the future of humanity will be like.

Metaverse isn't new because we already had stuff like Second Life and VR Chat. I'll still give it a try but I doubt it's going to be revolutionary or anything.
