Let me make it easy for everyone. The Metaverse is there for people to make money.
All these social media platforms and media platforms and other interactive sites are competing for the same people. The 1st ones to get something new have the advantage till the 'next big thing' comes along.
Make no mistake, it's all about getting users and getting their money, or getting the users so the advertisers give you the money.

Don't pretend it's anything but that and it all makes more sense.
