It's a shame the metaverse had to become such a big thing with so much stupid money behind it. There's a kernel of a neat idea in there.

i wonder if how many people actually spoke up and said 'um i don't think many people actually want to use this product' or did they just think it was easier kept their head down, collect their paycheck and go home.

  When I was dogfooding their Horizon/avatar products I would often provide this kind of feedback on surveys. I no longer work there anymore.
  On a serious note testing VR stuff was only a minor side thing I occasionally did and unrelated to my main scope.

    There were folks there who seemed to be gaslighting themselves that VR was "amazing". I also no longer work there anymore.
    Anyone want a slightly used Quest Pro for cheap? :)

Let's not forget the infamous demo of the Metaverse where Zuck's avatar was jumping and another avatar, a female one, was trying to do high-kicks on high-heels... And it turned out the vid was fake because they hadn't figured out how to do legs yet.
I mean: it was faked, using motion capture, and... it still sucked big times. That vid lives rent-free in my head.
