It blows my mind that we’ve put these tech billionaires on such a high pedestal, so when the Metaverse concept is announced we actually collectively doubt ourselves and give Zuckerburg the benefit of the doubt.
Like how is it that we don’t all immediately see that the Metaverse is nothing more than the result of a big, bloated company that has run out of ideas?

The metaverse has a groping problem already
A woman was sexually harassed on Meta’s VR social media platform. She’s not the first—and won’t be the last.- I don’t understand how they’ve managed to forget everything we learned from second life. This is like a headline from 20 years agoscarabin

Ireland's Data Protection Commission has fined Instagram and Facebook parent Meta 390 million euros (about $414 million) for violating EU privacy laws with its targeted advertising.
The regulator also asked Meta to start asking for explicit consent for personalized advertising within three months. Meta says it will appeal the decision.

Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘metaverse’ business lost more than $10 billion last year, and the losses keep growing
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/02/…
It also says it’ll be 15 years before their vision is realised?
So yeah, a lot of us will never see it

Her Instagram Handle Was ‘Metaverse.’ Last Month, It Vanished.
Five days after Facebook changed its name to Meta, an Australian artist found herself blocked, with seemingly no recourse, from an account documenting nearly a decade of her life and work.

This guy has written a series of articles about what "the Metaverse" is supposed to be.
https://www.matthewball.vc/the-m…
Once you starting reading about it, it becomes clear this is more a PR stunt on Facebook's part than anything else. Metaverse is supposed to be a live, synchronous virtual world that is built on top of common standards, so that you can move seamlessly from one game or community to another.
Not only does that not exist, Facebook doesn't seem to have a clear plan for it. It's also unclear why you would need everything unified into a single live system in this way -- it sounds incredibly resource intensive for no reason.

Well, it successfully shifted the attention away from the whistle blower findings.
