The metaverse is bullshit
Text is mightier than the Metaverse.<p>Kids can do video calls with their smartphones but prefer texting.<p>We could discuss Hacker News stories with video chat but we prefer text.<p>News and politics junkies prefer reading text tweets on Twitter to watching talking news anchors.<p>Once upon a time Amazon was a company that only sold books. Dried ink on dead trees. And in the early internet age this book seller outperformed many more &quot;forward looking visionary&quot; startups.<p>Billions and billions spent on making movies as polished as possible, yet &quot;I thought the book was better&quot; is what we always hear.<p>The Metaverse will be programmed with text.<p>The quarterly reports outlining its financial losses will be written in text.<p>When journalists ultimately write its obituary, they will write text.
