I don't think the metaverse is such a bad idea, I just think we're not there yet, and also that Meta isn't a trusted or cool enough company to pull it off. VR now is like a 1995 laptop, and it needs to be an iPhone for the metaverse to happen. And probably more than that, it'll need to be AR before it could happen. It needs to be Google Glass, but what that can be 10 years from now, and made by a company people like enough to generate FOMO.

Personally I think it's going to come from the gaming space, as they already know how to create virtual spaces people want to be in. Either a really good MMO (World of Warcraft had people glued to CRTS) or something like Fortnite, where we already have celebrities doing "live concerts".
