"you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" is the NWO mantra.

the real world has become just a place to make content for the virtual world. Samsung has already unveiled their 6g plan, it's full time augmented reality.

This is the real world of the future. Scarcity and lower living standards.





The virtual world will be a paradise compared to the reality, just like any dystopian movie set in the future.

Meta is equivalent to what google did with Alphabet.  It's just a parent company.  For Facebook, the original app would join Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus under a parent company.  Now facebook is no longer a monopoly but just a sub company.  Facebook was under scrutiny for buying companies and dissolving them but Meta is not under that microscope

Thanks for the explanation. Still a little confused but I get it. It's a legal protection maneuver. I don't know about this stuff. I just comment on oiled up men in thongs posting to music for screaming men.

Absolutely.

Covid accelerated everything online. We’re all using teams meeting and shitty video streams. That will all become avatars.

And in case nobody has clicked yet, this is why NFTs are the future. They will be our digital online image that people see.

It’s a move designed to protect Zuckerberg and Facebook from Republicans when they win back control in 2022.

It’s also a product for pro-vaccine, antisocial, liberal misfits who live their entire life in their living room.

NFTs are a scam.  Anything digital can be copied, cloned, or reproduced.  You won't need an NFT to have a "digital online image that people see."

You're still thinking of the 2017 version of NFTs. Yeah the digital art and images stuff was BS, but that doesn't even scratch the surface.

Explain to me, then, how it's not a scam.

As an "identifier", any encryption key seems much more useful.  These companies are using "NFT" as something interchangeable with "identifier"/"username."  It's pathetic.  Just another way to squeeze money out of normies without producing anything.

So... What's the point?

The metaverse will just be another leisure activity for consumers to spend their money on. Targetted advertising will probably be huge.

This one however will be more self contained, a close replica of the real world, so more time (and money) will be spent in that environment by some.

How is it a scam? No one is forcing you to buy anything.

Someone provides content and you decide if you want to pay the asking rate for it.

So since the US is going to shit, create a meta universe. Got it. How green are the VR goggles and are they resistant to inflation and not made from carcinogenic plastics? I’d also like to know if they were made by a diverse group of transgenders that that were properly identified by their chosen pronouns.

Tracking, control, data mining, target advertising, replacement of real living/success/wealth.
