Even that reading is giving it too much credit, by calling it what it wants to be. Money-addicts could build The Oasis. They cannot build the metaverse. No individual force can. No more than any single billionaire dork could have built the internet. A network, yes. A network of networks, yes. But it can’t be the network of all networks, unless it’s a cooperative endeavor of basically everyone.
And it’d never work as-described because a flat objective map of virtual space is dumb as hell. Like asking which website is north of Reddit.
It shouldn’t take an in-depth two-hour video to dismiss “virtual real estate.” Saying it out loud will do.
Based on what, exactly? Hopes and dreams?
Face it… the metaverse is a dead mall.

Dead? It is still being incubated.
