A fundamental problem with Metaverse is that their parent companies (Facebook, Insta, and as far as Whatsapp it's a clear antitrust case) don't work

People don't see posts from friends. The site spams you to death. They hijacked your email address, and replaced it with a facebook.com address. They've lied rather a lot about things generally

And that company is now the one presenting a Metaverse/VR/AR/whatever

It should be DOA just based on reputation, never mind the technical merits

what if they open source the 3d->vr tech, or inspire people to create open source alternatives? it's a net win
