    Investors are pissed about it. Its why tech bros are firing people by the thousands (same with Twitter kind of). Finance no longer cares about this kind of shit. They just want Facebook to focus on its massive 2 billion user base to make money for them. The thing about tech bros is that, perhaps more than other monopolists, they belive in their own bullshit visions. They probably dream about giving Ted talks and saving the world.

    Honestly tho even it becomes half of what they want it to be it could monopolize a lot of shit. It’s like reinventing the internet so you can charge rent to Amazon. It will be tough without investor support though.

      at least this shit has a good implication: it proves that we can still get stuff to fail by good old popular boycott.

      The main issue of the metavers is simple: nobody gives a shit. No considerable demographic has any real interest in it.

      same with NFT’s, another tech we essentially bullied into collapse. It had tons of issues, but the main one was that it solved a problem no one had. And thus nobody gave a shit.
