I don’t want to assume Facebook founder Suck Mockerberg can human emote like the rest of us, but I bet he is feeling some regret over the $24 billion he spent on a basic Fiverr rebranding package to change his company’s name to Meta.
Everyone is giving up on the technology. Disney recently closed its metaverse division, or “Next-generation storytelling and consumer experiences unit,” as they called it. Couple that with their formulaic Marvel multiverse bombing over at Rotten Tomatoes and it’s clear that they should just stick to prose because they suck at every kind of verse there is.
Over at Microsoft, same story. They’re all jumping ship like it’s the 3rd act of Titanic. Except this time, no one wants to let go of the floating wooden plank.
