**So what is “the metaverse”, exactly?**
So is the metaverse the next big advance that will revolutionize the way we all connect with each other? Is it just a repackaging of existing technologies into a new catch-all concept? Or is it just the latest buzzword marketing term? The answer to that depends on what you mean by “metaverse”. If there’s ever been a buzzword that truly gets under my skin, it’s this one.

@prologic I'd also like people to notice how Zucc and others are pushing so many unnecessary NFT integrations into their VR spyware and in case of Facebook even their own crypto currency.
So it might not only be a privacy nightmare, but also some dirty financial scheme, where Facebook sells stuff as NFTs, to convince idiots they are rarer and justify higher prices and when things made by other 3D artists are sold, Facebook gets to take a cut twice. Once through the NFT storefront and once through their crypto shitcoin.
@thecanine agreed. Honestly this world is going to shit under surveillance captitalism and techno sheep.
@eldersnake I'd still like to think that it's more the surveillance/bad government part, than the capitalism part. Mostly because the only alternatives to capitalism that people present are either some form of communism or some anarchist system and both of those sound even less appealing to me.

@thecanine Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I don't have an issue with capitalism itself necessarily, for all it's issues it's the lesser of any of the evils and I'd take it over communism any day ending in 'y'. Take the good with the bad kinda thing.
I just think it's taken to it's maximum extremes, especially by companies with online products/services. I think they all get too greedy and powerful as the money rolls in and with the likes of data sharing ad revenue models being allowed to prosper unregulated, we get the shitshow we get now.
