This so much! I earned money in second Life. Back then I exchanged it all to bitcoin and lost it gambling, but the fact that SL was rewarding my real efforts in real world money was amazing. Investments I did in current projects (ex. Sandbox) also doing well.

Facebook is going to have nothing of that. Money will flow into one direction only and it essentially never be more than an VR entertainment hub.

I honestly feel insulted in some way that zuck claims the word metaverse for something that will fail horribly anyway.
