Metaverse is all the hype. But, it is simply just a re-brand of SecondLife which has been around for ages and never really took off as well as people had thought it would. However, it does show how Facebook likes to rip off things from others. The level of technology needed for hyperreality is going to take ages. One can see the slow pace with which augmented, virtual, and mixed reality has taken off in the mainstream. People will also have a challenging time understanding what hyperreality really means to them. And, in many cases it will become boring, not very user-friendly, and inaccessible. There is also the element of surveillance which will become a big privacy issue. In many respects, it will become another deep/dark web like the Tor/Onion privy to only a select few. Just like blockchain, Metaverse will simply not make much sense to people. And, as people find the whole idea difficult to comprehend, it also means generating ad revenue will become a complex terrain to navigate in consumer reachability. The types of consumers may just turn out to be gamers especially ones on Twitch or possibly the ones that find another outlet from Tor/Onion.
