But Zuck is not God. The MetaVerse is as wonky as SecondLife, which exists since 2003. Zuck‘s Vision is nothing else than a Tower of Babel. 3000 years ago, the sky was their limit. Their problem was the babylonian confusion of language. Zuck‘s problem is simpler: a 3D-avatar needs tons of CO2 to stay alive. Our blue planet now has to nourish 8 billion human beeings. Our earth cannot feed another 2 billion avatars.
It is like bitcoin-mining: As energy-costs and CO2-compensation costs are escalating, Zuckerberg will never ever earn the money to finance hugh server farms all over the world.

I couldn’t agree with you more… except on the MetaVerse. It’s wonky and won’t get to its potential anytime soon, but it’s not lightyears away. They have pumped/dumped so much money into it, there is no going back unless they take the loss and move on – and I can’t see that happening. It’s going to roll out in stages and add form and functionality just like the internet. Think about your browsing experience before MOBILE-first, and before that. It’s night and day within 10ish years. Don’t count it out, just yet. By 2030 it will be populated and hopping – some version of it.

Elon Musk’s Twitter is loosing its biggest advertisement-spenders and firing 50% of its employees. Marc Zuckerberg’s meta looses users and fires 11,000 of its digital experts. Zuckerberg seems to be lightyears away from metaverse. And we – Johannes Gutenberg’s disciples – we are living in the printerverse merging our 500-year-old medium with the digital future on the world’s flattest flat screen: paper. Cheers!
