who knows if a VR environment becomes pervasive but what zuckerberg may not realize is that most people do not trust facebook and tech savvy early adopters most certainly don't trust facebook.
early adopters generally use open systems and then they become closed and siloed over time in order to improve the user experience for normies.
zuck is trying to invert this by marketing the meta verse to the normies first and that has never succeeded for highly technical products of which VR certainly qualifies.
