“ Having realized that few consumers actually want to be involved in the metaverse, Meta—which underwent a name change solely due to its blind faith in the metaverse—laid off 11,000 of its employees in November.”

If there were another pandemic then maybe the world might enjoy living online in a meta verse but for now I don’t see the need.

Maybe meta should add "induce another pandemic" in their GTM strategy.

But you are totally right this platforms have no engagement.

I don't even think another pandemic would get enough interest for the 'metaverse'. Were actual consumers ever truly interested? And by that I mean if there would have been a product out there....would anyone believe enough in it to put their hard earned money on it

Facebook employees working from home were not interested enough to have meetings in the Meta-sphere.

And these are people who were GIVEN the devices for free. Imagine the odds of the general public dropping money on it

This claim stuck out to me when reading... Is that really the only reason for the name change?

No it’s also a keyword in programming for meta tags- so if you were trying to get rid of Facebook spyware you could just do a search for Facebook… do a search for meta and everything returns.
