    Ha ha, everyone hated it from the start. I think he put a lot of money into it too. Like tens of billions into developing this metaverse. No doubt he’s surrounded by yes men and yes woman that tell him what a genius and visionary he is, and has removed anyone that would have told him, bro, no one wants this metaverse.

    The story of all the money he blew on the metaverse has legs, unlike the metaverse.

      People do want something similar to it, but their version of it always seemed so like… too clean. Like they were afraid to have anything remotely controversial on it when in reality the biggest market for this kind of stuff are the furries that fill VR Chat, but Meta doesn’t have the balls to cater to horny furries.

        Yeah, they basically saw the Miis of the wii and thought “everyone wants to model their whole social interactions based on these sorts of avatars”

        The Miis were adequate self inserts into the motion games, but Zuck thought people wanted them more.

        Hahaha. You missed your chance, should have done a sales pitch to Zuck.

        If they went for a person to person sex mode in VR the market would have been a lot bigger than just furries. Zucklack’s vision.

          Yeah, they’re trying to package and sell the beige sterilized online VR experience. And even aside from the sex stuff it’s a way more boring way to go about it.
