Hey, the Zucc looks slightly less creepy as a VR puppet in that propaganda clip. I guess that's something.

For real, though. All of the marketing is "it's coming, it will be everywhere" which makes it sound roughly as appealing and positive as Covid. What is supposed to be the upside to the proles that are being pressured to take this all in? No matter what I read about it, it reads like a threat more than a promise.

    The metaverse should be like a VR version of the web, what it's instead going to be is a like a VR version of the facebook app platform where FB becomes the gatekeeper for your data while they collect it all themselves. And there is going to be a lot of data. Tons of insight into your behaviors. Plenty of opportunities for them to influence you.

    Sounds great doesn't it. /s :angery:
