I think all the elites should get together lock themselves in and spend the rest of there lives in the metaverse and give the world back to the ones who truly care for it. That does not excite many people like you say it does.

Mark, this may sound like a foreign concept, but what if when people wanted to get together and socialize they get together and socialize IN REAL LIFE. Nobody needs more “social media” or a room full of flying fish more than they need genuine, face-to-face interaction with people they care about.

How are you supposed to socialize with people you know, that are on the opposite side of Earth? Regardless, this seems like it'll be meh, just like FB was/is. VR chat already exists.

The scary part is if there are enough people who do their business or social activity exclusive on VR, then even people who were reluctant at first will have no choice other than using the same platform or they will be left behind

[@ahhmm5381]

Yeah, but most jobs that actually matter are in the real world and cannot be online. Also, what is the draw? Why would anyone use this? Creating an ecosystem for business is pointless if it is far easier to do work in real life, or even create an app that does this. Oh wait, that already exists. The other problem is that what people enjoy online is divided between many different companies. If they start getting together, then maybe start worrying.
