The amount of snub and ignorance from people who might have never put on a VR headset is insane. Can we put aside who owns the Metaverse, and just talk about whether it's something valuable to a wider audience than a large portion of HN who can just live with text only?

Quoting someone in this thread: "Metaverse is bullshit" is going to be the Dropbox comment [1] in 10 years!

And why did the Dropbox comment existed? It's because people on HN think if something doesn't fit their needs, it's then useless everywhere.

All I care about is that VR is usable right now, I watch movies and you know what every week, not interested in gaming much. Also, please stop comparing VR to crypto, apples and oranges.
