I visited Meta's metaverse on the day it was supposed to shut down. I ended up in a horribly designed car park with no cars, for a restaurant that can sell no food (www.prospectmagazine.co.uk)

Linden Labs did the same thing forever ago, with worse tech and a much smaller budget, and it was hoppin at its peak but now it too is a ghost town.

It’s actually quite sad. The ridiculous troll shit there was hysterical, and some of the worlds they made were intricate and mesmerizing.

Meta never had that because they never cared to foster a community. It’s all brand names and logos and nothing people actually wanted.

Zuckerberg doesn’t know his market base. He’s just so rich it will take a very long time for him to get a read on this.
