I agree that the metaverse is a niched interest right now and that these projects will not get anywhere. However, lets see when META actually creates a usable products for companies and you are basically forced to work in a "digital" environment. This would be incredibly cost efficient for companies, not needing to rent huge office buildings.
I'm a little bit of a pessimist in this sense but I believe this change will not be optional, we will be forced into this sooner or later.
do you know how many projects Meta has gone after that have failed? Gifts, podcasts, gaming, moments, they've tried to copy so much shit and try add it on the network effect of facebook and it still failed
You could argue that those were smaller projects. They literally changed their company name to go for it, I doubt they will back down so easily this time. But who knows! Time will tell which one of us is right!
