From what little I've seen on Youtube (mostly that video of Zuck's lifeless avatar giving the grand tour of the Metaverse) it does indeed seem stupid, even for hardcore tech-heads, gamers, and/or whoever else might be interested in VR innovation. 

I know it's been a long time since Zuckerberg "created" Facebook, but maybe he's let things go to his head and thinks he can create demand for something like that.  But whatever the case may be, it sounds like Meta investors aren't happy with the black hole those billions of dollars are going into.  I mean Jesus, that's a lot of money for any company to be spending on R&D, and if it's not clear to shareholders exactly what the money is being spent on....there's a big investor-relations problem there.

Let that company and all its projects die, and the quicker the better.  Facebook/Meta is just one Big Brother out of several that needs to be blown out of the water.
