The only people I've met who care at all about the metaverse are terrified of it (giving an advertiser live access to metrics like pupil dilation is creepy), or appreciate the opportunities that it creates to make fun of Zuckerberg. Are there people out there who intend to use it?

I remember when Facebook was invite-only. It was cool. Everybody wanted in. This... I think this is grounds to bet against Mark.

I'm not sure how much it matters that people aren't interested in the metaverse now. The question is whether it will be adopted once it is ready.

Aren't Apple and Microsoft making AR/VR stuff, too?

AR/VR is cool. I untangle DAGs in 2D sometimes and I'd love a third dimension to work in. I just don't need to decorate it like a cubicle and do it where others can notice that I have a zit on my nose.
