Reply to comment by Twirdman in [OC] Tech Layoffs in 2022 so far, percentage of total workforce by PieChartPirate

The metaverse is to vr what the iPhone was to phones. I’m not saying I like the metaverse, but if you’re going to talk about improving existing technology, they’re very similar.

You can call crypto useless, but the fact is that there are billions of dollars circulating around in the crypto space. Calling a business that operates in that space and makes money doing so “not a real company” is just fucking asinine.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…. Challenge there is people wanted phones. A shitty vr version of second life is the answer to a question nobody’s asking.

Well while I do think that beanie babies were stupid people did actually want them. The challenge Meta is facing here is nobody wants to buy expensive VR hardware so they can have a virtual existence.
