People hate zuckerberg and facebook.
Then again, instagram is facebook and so is whatsapp and those apps are widly popular. Basically completely ubiquitous these days.
So will that happen with meta? I've never used a VR chat room as I'm not a deranged faggot. Do they have appeal to zoomers and younger?
Meta itself is a direct copy of https://decentraland.org/. I'm not sure how popular that is though but I remember seeing second life and thinking "who the fuck would even consider wasting their time with this" and then seeing how popular it was. Roblox is another virtual social network world that is wildly popular too. And I can see how many people these days would want to escape into a virtual world.
Second life was a big hit but it didn't innovate and stagnated.
Second Life at its peak was in the ballpark of Age of Conan and EVE Online in terms of accounts and online users.
Not exactly worthy of being called "a big hit". A big polished pile of cow shit can get a million accounts and ten thousand concurrent active just off of people saying "Hey, come look at this pile of cow shit." See Wildstar for example.
