Well, all I can say on this metaverse project was pure hype and it's all about hype. Mostly we heard them on social media because they are actively promoting those projects on social media like Facebook, Twitter, and even in Telegram. There will perhaps be new projects that will have potential but you need research for this because not all become massively have profit as you mentioned OP.
However, you should not rely on any financial advice on the internet, dig deeper it should be the must, --and they best of all, invest what you can afford. ^{[as always advised]}
