I'm not going to spend time inside MZ's cartoon world

Call me old-fashioned, but it is hard for me to think of anything more dystopian or depressing than people hanging out in any VR environment created by MZ. Then there's the headset part. Seriously?! I mean who actually thinks that's a great idea??

Of course I'm sure this all resonates wildly with 20-something males who live in their parents' basements and play online games every day, but I don't want to associate with them anyway.

Just for clarity... does this mean you don't want to wear a dorky headset either?

If you hated zoom, you'll love the uber-geeky loser fest that is the metaverse.

Dahn, did female avatars regularly get se-----y as----ted in Farmville?

That might be one key difference.

Comparing cartoons to the meta abomination is a a major disservice to cartoons.

Even the commercials are super cheesy...why not call it Farmville 3D?

This company has grown by inertia and acquisitions, not by development talent. If they can't figure out how to put a pair of legs to an avatar, would you trust in them by investing your hard earned dollars? The metaverse will happen, but other companies will add the flavor and value added that Meta is lacking. The scariest part is watching the herd at all levels repeating the message as parrots, day in and day out. Wait a few more weeks until the next results are announced and see what is what.
