There’s a whole bunch of geriatric millennials out there remembering what happened to second life. With the pandemic letting up the last thing people are going to want to do is live in some virtual world. Fresh air is the new black.

How could anyone ever forget flying penises pelting Anshe Chung in the face during a CNN-sponsored Second Life ‘town hall’? Anyone expecting something different from the ‘metaverse’ is living in a fantasy world.

Porn companies and sex workers will make money in VR environments, whether mainstream companies can remains to be seen.
