Comment on Why is Mark Zuckerberg building the Metaverse?parent

Comments

Their goal is to get people to spend as much time as possible in the metaverse

There’s your answer. How does Facebook make most of its money? Information about people and ads.

As Facebook evolved they added games and marketplace and more - they want you to spend most of your time online on Facebook. His goal for the zuckerverse is no different.

His talking points about connecting people are just marketing speak. He wants to connect people so that they spend more time on his platforms and meta makes more money. It’s that simple.

"zuckerverse" is a great name for it :-)

Surely he just wants to make more money. But how does he think zuckerverse will help him do that? Well maybe as a novelty. I can see a lot people getting into it once it works well enough.

But you are right we should see right through Zuckerberg's verses.
