"There's lots of internets like reddit and Facebook."
The metaverse is a punchline. Completely ignoring how everyone today is throwing the word around with a thousand incompatible private definitions, and pretending everyone else is on-board with their particular made-up goal: Snow Crash was a satire of 1980s cyberpunk, and making the internet a virtual mall was a slap in the face.
There will be no such thing. It's a stupid gag. I say this as someone with a 2004 Second Life account. I used VRML. I have been through this hype cycle more than once. VR could succeed beyond our wildest dreams, and it still wouldn't be the great big concept you're slandering by applying it to a minigolf game.
And for fuck's sake, if there's more than one of something, it can't be a "the."
It is “the Internet” though and there is more than one and we all accept? I do not understand your point there. Your passionate reply reveals there is a lot of emotion behind your words. I remember having similar conversations in the early 1990s about theInternet where it was compared to a fad. The Metaverse is a thing that will only grow and make sense in our day to day.
"People doubted the internet, so nothing else can ever be wrong!" Jog on, crypto bro.
Name calling? Why you so emotional?
Ignoring the argument part of the comment doesn't mean there was no argument.
Also: whining about tone, as if that has any bearing on meaning, is a fallacy. Which you've done twice now by projecting the apparently terrible quality of... having emotion... onto some completely impersonal criticism of rich idiots' shallow fantasies.
