@mhoye load-bearing “could”

@mhoye it aged like fine velveeta.

@mhoye Thinking about the GOOD that could've been done with the tens of billions they sank into Zuck's cute little childhood dream. Trying not to punch something

@petrillic That velveeta had a shot at growing legs before anyone in the metaverse did.

@mhoye "On the other hand, there are clear risks."

No shit - like no one fuckin' wanting it.

@mhoye It was so blindingly obvious, even at the time, that this whole metaverse thing was just a figment of Zuckerberg’s imagination and was absolutely not going anywhere. Historians will write books about this incredible silicon valley bandwagon effect. Or is it just fear of missing out? Cult of personality maybe? @bert_hubert

@mhoye

this is also an excellent illustration of the power that consumers have, when wielded collectively

no one wanted the metaverse and no one used it. now it's gone.

we could make a lotta BS go away like this too, if only...

@mhoye please notify me in 2030 so I can laugh at Zuckerberg and those "experts" once more
