Whenever I hear the word metaverse. I just replace it with the word "internet".

Its nothing more than a way for a few companies to monetize a few extra things and become gate keepers to things that have neither on the internet.

The metaverse is basically what the internet would be if it was invented today

Hey, you gotta give it more credit than that

It's the internet but you'll never be able to use an adblocker!

I think it's time to update the "cloud to butt" plugins...

Back when cloud was the big new buzzword several browser extensions/bookmarklets were created to replace occurrences of "cloud" with "butt".

1_player's comment should have replaced both occurrences of metaverse with butt though.

Does there happen to be a browser extension to automate this?

Yeah i do this as well. 100%.

I wish facebook had never existed we wouldn't have to deal with this garbage. I'd be curious what would have filled the gap.
