I'm not sure if Metaverse was a bad idea so much as selling out everything else to go full steam on Metaverse was a bad idea. It felt like they sold out their core user base and destroyed their existing platforms to get there. They were simultaneously tanking their image and reputation with users while asking them to commit and invest in a new platform.

I agree, but I also think the marketing around the ideas wasn't good either. You need public mindshare to build an ecosystem like this, and a lot of the potential audience never understood the point of it. To this day, I have no idea what problem the Metaverse is supposed to solve.
