Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye

Metaverse was like the AI nobody asked for getting pushed into apps. Nobody wanted Wii Mii like hangout rooms where you have to water a clunky headset.

I was willing to give a shot to something like the Metaverse, but the instant I heard it was a Facebook/Meta project I had zero interest and hoped it would die. This was my same experience with Occulus. These are both technologies I want for a cyberpunk future, but Facebook cannot be the one to control them.
I actually liked it back when it was called second life
I never understood why Second Life wasn’t ported to VR circa 2020.
The original guy that made Oculus stuck around after the buy out, until a couple years ago and rage quit. Because he said that Meta is killing his original vision. So yeah.
They are killing it, but sadly they’re about the only ones keeping it alive, at least at an affordable price.
I wish VR was a commodity product, like TVs. Everything compatible with everything.

I never watered mine. Was that the issue?
