i believe the metaverse will have a huge impact on society

Question

I know Meta is down bad right now but I remain hopeful. I think there's a lot of promise in it and wanted to know what you think metaverse will impact society, good, bad, anything in between? I think there's real promise in this despite how bleak it looks right now...

For developers for example, value can be defined by the economics- subscriptions or memberships, deals or partnerships, and micro-transactions between users. I think the metaverse will open up a whole new way for people and the brands they love to interact in meaningful ways, assuming brands care about their customers of course. The idea of having a brand interact with you outside of what we see today like snarky tweets from a social media manager replying to your meme or some storytelling blog post is profound.

Zuck is too hellbent on selling VR. The microsoft "partnership" seems like its reaching. Just admit you were wrong and invest in AR. No one is giving up their celly in the next 15 years.

as much as i love making fun of zuck and seeing him squirm, you do have a point about the impact it COULD have. but it needs a whole ecosystem and for meta to claim it as the metaverse is really a misnomer. it won't belong to them. it'll belong to users. their time, attention, and engagement activities are the currencies that put them at the helm unlike todays web2 platforms. i think people are starting to realize just how much power they have in terms of their value to the companies that want to sell to them. withhold your time and attention and will companies fold under the pressure as they cannot extract value from the service they offer.

Meta's bet is such a long shot that I'd be surprised if Zuck is at the helm by this time next year. The money they are bleeding right now trying to force this thing to work... like dude, no one cares about your sick avatars

Data and content are also currencies besides ad revenue and all that. Social media has taught users that their data and content are valuable, and now they are looking for returns on their contributions. Look at what creators are demanding on Twitter now that Elon is in the drivers seat. I expect them to build out some things that will crush meta's shoppable even more. I dont think meta is in a good spot at all. It's getting worse guys and metaverse isn't the savior, at least how it is being touted now.
