Metaverse mockery and skepticism is popular among ‘experts’, not in the least due to Meta’s latest cringe-worthy presentations. But there’s something to be learned from history. Mark Zuckerberg and Meta did a terrible job. I almost couldn’t watch his pathetic avatar-self explain that the new avatars would be “more expressive and detailed than anything else…
