Debbie's getting the feeling that the metaverse is going to flop. Yours?

Agreed.  Big time flop.

The tech is coming along, but nowhere near joe consumer readiness yet, imo.

Yeah.  I don't think anybody wants to hang out in a VR world run by facebook.  The notion seems quite dystopian to me.

Good article.  I watched a video of a person who was trying to monetize the metavers.  It looks a lot like Roblox to me too, but with a lot of lemonade stands.

In the near term, I agree. But:
50 years from now, it'll be an amazing escape from reality.
100 years from now, it'll be our default experience.
200 years from now, we live in the matrix.

>In the near term, I agree. But...

Do you mean VR or Zuckerberg's platform?  Oh, I think VR and AR will continue to grow and improve, I just don't think this is it.  Zuckerberg is not a genius, he just happened to launch FB at a time when Murdoch caused MySpace to implode.
