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.
My guess is it will take off the same way Zoom took off. When did you first hear of Zoom? Was it when your university or workplace required you to use it? Would you have ever used Zoom otherwise?
I could see the angle of requiring it for grade/highschool and there being funding to ensure that every family has access to the Metaverse (like the only reason Chromebooks are popular is because YOU bought thousands of them for school children).
Man that is a big black pill. I really hope the establishment doesn't push it like that.
