I WANT to do a Facebook replacement, but it costs so much money. Wikipedia is killing itself, too. So, I don't think some of the ideas you presented is the perfect... pardon the irony of where you posted it ..."medium." Facebook going "Meta" and abandoning Facebook for this "Metaverse" is stupid.
Its one of the points I made in an article I wrote here: https://destroyrepeat.com/2022/02/17/i-expect-a-video-game-crash-and-soon/
I refer to this part: "Meta only has the Social Media giant, Facebook to drive its profits. It doesn’t have a video game console, it doesn’t have a PC, tablet, phone, or handheld device to drive growth. It relies on future gains such as Oculus winning the VR wars. Mark Zuckerberg is betting on the future of Meta on Oculus. Mark Zuckerberg is betting on the future of Meta on Metaverse, but it requires Oculus to win." And... "The Video Game industry has toyed with the idea of a “Metaverse,” already. Grand Theft Auto was released in 1997 as a 2D, open-ended, open world. Grand Theft Auto 3 was released in 2001, and revolutionized open-world games forever. Grand Theft Auto 5 was released in 2013, has been released for 3 generations of consoles. GTAV sold 160 Million units worldwide, raked in $6 Billion lifetime." To conclude this part: "The closest I see of Metaverse is Fortnite. Call of Duty: Warzone is another great example of such idea of a “Metaverse.” Hell, Microsoft made the biggest acquisition yet, with the purchase of Activision Blizzard for $68.7 Billion. For what? The metaverse? Dude, you don’t need the metaverse! It’s already on your console!"
I like facebook for what it brought: Connections between humans. The problem is, they haven't figured out the business model! Yes, YOU HEARD ME. Facebook should've utilized that "search engine" because of the vast database of posts, IN-HOUSE advertising product. Facebook has all the right tools, they just got greedy, then make stupid mistakes. Killing itself by pivoting to Metaverse? HAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAAHAHA. Ahhh...
