I think metaverse is already here, it's just that we need to stitch it together.
It's less about a VR / AR / silly avatar experience, more linking all your online activity into one identity, one 'verse'.
Eg, typical day: check your iPhone in morning, emails, message, qbn, news, stocks/crypto. Work -login into work systems, chat areas, scheduling. Get home and it's netflix, call of duty, instagram, porn.
At the moment those are all separate websites, unique logins and identities. What if the www web was more of a curated room/space, and you access it with one identity. That's sounding more like a metaverse.
And then it seems the ideal is to lift all of that experience off from rectangle screens, and get it more into the lived environment, via some glasses, ar + vr.
And instead of multiple logins and passwords, it'd be more like crypto, a wallet of identities, unique to you, like a set of nfts.
- The shining in light of hope though is web3, decentralised and autonomous communities.shapesalad
- How does 'decentralized' make a positive difference if it's all still manipulated/controll... by the same methods (ie bitcoin)?formed
- This all looks like Facebook's perfect wet dream - control identities, control currency, etc. It makes even more sense (for them).formed
- Personally, I don't really get 'decentralized' when it's still built/controlled by a few large/powerful players. Maybe that's just me.formed
- Yeah, I'd expect more than a little resistance to Meta being the overarching corporation over... the entire internet?jagara
- @shapesalad thanks btw :)jagara

Meta (META) announced today (Oct. 30) that it will charge Facebook and Instagram users in Europe a subscription fee for an ad-free experience starting in November. The subscriptions will cost €9.99 ($ 10.60) per month for web and €12.99 ($13.79) for mobile apps. Initially, one subscription will cover all accounts linked to its owner. But starting March 2024, users will have to pay an extra fee for each additional account, which will be €6 ($6.37) per month for web and €8 ($8.49) for mobile. The rollout came just days after Meta CFO Susan Li shared an update on the company’s European ad strategy.
- I know people with 5-6 personal accounts, not to mention commecial ones, this won't flygrafician
- Also this is about personalized ads, they can still show ads, just not based on personal data like beforegrafician
- Use the browser version with adblock, or agent switcher on desktop with adblock, never see ads again.i_monk

Peak social media is when you can watch a tiktok video on twitter about people doing nothing but eating at facebook/meta hq. and the musketeer who owns twitter comes in and expresses his doubts about the reality presented in that video.

"I decided there's only one explanation for why Meta cares so much about the metaverse: It is simply an investment in future pandemics and other global catastrophes."
