Facebook's cancelled cryptocurrency projects libra and diem were better than anything metaverse has to offer.

Meta hasn't shown much invention or innovation in its attempt to reinvent the internet. There isn't anything new they bring to the table.

Those who follow finance and business know exactly where the money went. The same precedent has been an ongoing theme for other large US corporations for years. The abrupt rebranding to metaverse without much marketing or promotion. The considerable redistribution of funds, despite lacking a good proof of concept or tech demo. The buggy lo fi rollout. Everything about it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Even without knowing the past history of financial engineering and massive debt restructuring occurring in brand name american corporations.
