The metaverse isn’t dead yet
Somehow, as we enter 2023, the metaverse isn’t a completely dead concept being laughed out of every room and board meeting for being an unrealistic idea that nobody even wants. Somehow companies like Walmart are still investing a ton of money into trying to create terrible virtual worlds to sell people shit in. Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg is literally destroying his company’s profits in a desperate attempt to create and then control the metaverse—something he thinks will be like the next internet. And a bunch of tech bros want you to work all day in the metaverse, even though it’s likely this would be terrible and lower productivity
It’s likely that the metaverse will stick around for a few more years because, as like with NFTs, a bunch of corps and tech bros have already spent a lot of money and time building out plans and companies around the metaverse and by God, they will make sure these terrible plans are completed. So be prepared for at least a few more awful-looking and horrible-to-use metaverses to pop up in the next few years. But don’t worry about joining. They’ll all be dead soon enough, as we repeat the dot com bubble of the late ‘90s
