[@rasputinjesus]

This is just a pump and dump scheme with extra steps and somehow less reliable and more risky LOL

[@exodusn2233]

I was about to say lol. I can't belive they thought showing that off in the ad was a good idea.

[@FistofSteel1900]

Nah it might be Eth or bitcoin, but even with bitcoin that amount on the counter is only worth 6 bucks, the increment in the ad only earns it hundredths of cents

[@saltedmutton7269]

the currency is actually just the fraction of the worth of the enitre world that you own

[@TheoHiggins]

@@Wayte13 Nah there's been multiple times over the internet's evolution where someone invents virtual real estate, people buy it, and everyone mocks those people. I'm sure it happened a bunch in the wild west of the early internet, but I can specifically remember my dad telling me about it in like 2011, morons spending hundreds of thousands on a virtual apartment. Actually it was probably money laundering now that I think about it. Either way it's a concept that's been mocked basically from the beginning of the internet

[@islandboy9381]

​@@TheoHigginsthe Dot Com boom and bust

[@RifterDask]

This just has me thinking about how screwed up the whole idea of virtual housing is. Yeah, I'm totally gonna pay cash to sit in a house while I'm sitting in my house. How the hell did these silicon valley bros ever convince themselves that this was gonna be a thing?

[@Cyber_Akuma]

Plus the idea that digital data can have any sort of scarcity. It can just be easily copied and duplicated as many times as one needs, any scarcity is purely artificial.

[@goom4689]

Yeah, not like I convinced my mother to spend 40$ on a home skin in wizard101 when I was young.

[@buzzzysin]

I won't forget the time a beloved (elder) family member tried to get me get virtual land, no joke. He opened all convincing like, followed by "have you heard of Roblox?"

[@nolankanski9116]

Especially since all the stuff they're trying to do like that had already been done better by a bunch of games like VRchat, usually for completely free. You can boot up Unity right now and make something better than the metaverse real estate yourself

[@br3akstuff]

​@@goom4689 That's DIFFERENT

[@buzzzysin]

It's alarming how dated this is and yet how relevant it became. Thats some serious prescience

[@insanemindset2667]

I think a big part of that prescience is common sense. Like, who the hell wants to buy virtual real estate that doesn't do shit when the Sims series is 100 times better?

[@lasarousi]

Unbridled consumerism has existed for a while now. It's not more relevant now, it's as relevant then as it's today, which is more pathetic if you think about it. Mainly because land is something that will always will hold its value, it's only obvious it will try to be translated to digital. Except your anyone can just create virtual spaces whenever.

[@HaydenX]

I suggest you search the phrase "bullshit jobs" and see just how self-aware people have been about the "future" of tech for a long time now.

[@quasicroissant]

it's less that this was prescient and more that the current stuff with the Metaverse is more or less reheated old ideas back from the Dot-Com Boom

[@pothatuu]

The advertisers want to get you excited about spending money, not receiving it

[@TheEternalClown]

@@PURENT He can buy many nuts with his income

[@Yakshimara]

It's about the thrill of ownership. Being able to claim imaginary space that no one can physically touch which can go on for lightyears with the only limit being your imagination.... oh, and the Server space. The ability to spend thousands for a 0.00000000007% gain is just the endgame. The expected gain. The thrill was the purchase, the income going up, nutty as it is, was already accepted as simple fact. His allergies to virtual legumes sours the experience a tad.

The most disturbing thing is that the mustache is clearly photoshopped in later. As in: the original 3D model did not have a mustache. Someone slapped it on in afterimages barely holding the correct position and thought this improves the look.

Virtual real estate wouldn't be such a bad idea if everyone understood it wasn't real and for fun, and made it like buying cosmetic features for games rather than any p2p aspect. But all the broke NFT BROHSS probably think that it's the next big thing so they'll of course ruin it for everyone.

[@JacobKinsley]

I guarantee the way it works is you buy a 2d sprite of a land tile from opengameassets, some coordinates, and on top of that you buy a house sprite from kenneygameassets. That money is directly funneled and invested by stock market trading ai bots that give you back 0.2% of the money they make.

[@SuborbitalPigeon]

​​@@JacobKinsleyapparently a plot of "land" can be yours for the equivalent of $5. It would take 50 years to recoup that from the "money" they give you for "renting out" the land. That money comes from advertising and other mugs buying the land. As with most of these things, they're trying to suggest it'll become really popular so you could sell later for more than you paid. In other words, there's one born every minute.

The core concept of "virtual housing" and spending actually hard earned cash in it is so beyond absurd.... That a part of me still believes it is just an ellaborate joke and that none of it has ever happened. Wishful thinking, of course.

[@burgbass]

The idea would probably sound a little tiny bit less stupid if this wasn’t going on during a time of economic stress where a lot of people’s money is stretched thin. The idea sounds more like something that would exist in a future where it’s a lot more simpler to spend cash on weird and pointless things without having to worry about it- but advertising this Atlas Earth shit right now is really dumb lmao
