    I still remember the original Metaverse pitch basically being ‘We’re going to copy VRChat but without any of the bits people enjoy’

      Yeah and tied to your fucking meta account so next data breach your colleagues at work can learn that you chatted for hours with a 15 year old with a lewd anime avatar (or as lewd as meta would ever allow something to be) about your fursona.

      Having only seen videos of VR Chat, your avatar can be a 6 foot penis or a anime girl or a skeleton with a trumpet. And I think Metaverse was trying to provide that for businesses and the general public?

      How can you create a social hub where you can’t be a 6 foot penis?

      And, in practice, take forever, don’t really promote it, and make it look like no one at Facebook has ever laid eyes on a video game.
