Mark Zuckerberg said he would never retire from Facebook because it was the best idea he'd ever have in his life.

Meta, his second big idea, proved him right.

Plus, you didn't mention that the Metaverse will almost instantly be taken over by next-level hardcore porn.

That’s the conundrum for FB/Meta - just about all new consumer media adoption gets driven by porn (VCR, 1-900 numbers, etc., etc.) and to the extent that Zuckerberg’s metaverse would preclude that, it diminishes its chances for adoption.

The Edsel was ahead of it’s time.

Meta doesn't come even close to the Qualities the Edsel had. Take a look at that stupid "1st Meta interview". How DUMB. You just have to wonder why they didn't just take the crap off and unplug it and turn & talk to each other. I guarantee 88.75% of everyone is thinking that same thing ... WHY ??? No Reason for it

On point. The killer app of VR is immersive edginess. So censorship and surveillance capitalism will make for a dull af virtual reality. I do not see Instagram influencers migrating to Meta's VR regardless of any payment structure or functionality.

Everyone knows Meta is a direct reflection of Mark Zuckerberg's thinking, just like Facebook itself is. We all know his thinking is seriously damaged. So why would we want to immerse ourselves further? We already swim in his reality and it is garbage dope rat surveillance capitalism ... There's just not a viable successor just yet. But it's no wonder kids flee to Bytedance - Zuck is literally less cool than the Chinese Communist Party lol

The point is “moot,” you mean, and really isn’t.
