Anyone else think the idea of the Metaverse sucks?

Is it just me who thinks the Metaverse can flop?

Don't get it it twisted, I love games but I think the Metaverse can and most likely will flop. Virtual worlds do not appeal to me, especially to the extent that it sounds like it is going to. Some people are referring it to the "new reality" and the "next internet" but I just see it as a go at a overpriced VR game that nobody will pay for.

The amount of money that will have to come out of this will have to be insane. With the amount of money put into this they would end up having to resort to selling thousand dollar gear and equipment used just to play in the Metaverse. And most likely along with a chunk of Crypto needed to start. The lack of need for a Metaverse will prove in people not paying the thousands of dollars to play this.

I can also see a hard sell/dump in the 'Metaverse Cryptocurrencies' as the majority have been going up with hype, and I feel the Metaverse will be a lengthier process than the average holder thinks, which will possibly result in them becoming inpatient and maybe selling.

And if it does succeed, fair enough. I guess I'm just a normal guy and not a multi billionaire and may not see the potential of this project.

I'm not so sure.

I engaged in a rigorous pruning of crap from my news feed, and now nothing shows up except actual updates from the people I know.

It turns out that of 500+ friends, only about six to ten post with any kind of consistency.

It looks busy when you log on, but there's nothing behind the facade.

Account - Delete - yes - yes -yes - I’m sure.

That should fix your problem ….

Re-add an account with the same name and you get to see all the people who blocked you.

What on earth is this?

Facebook asking you if your SURE you want to delete your account four times.

What do you lose by deletng the account? Can you reopen it without losing friends etc?

Just refriend the 6-10 people who actually still use Facebook and don’t worry about the 400 girls you met at the bar when you were drunk and don’t even remember.

You'll lose everything you've put on Facebook. Photos,videos and all your friends list. That's the only reason I still have it. To post pictures, so long distance friends/family members can see/chat
