    Apparently it mostly appeals to young children, or maybe people pretending to be young children.

    more than half of the metaverse’s active users are aged 13 and below.

      This is because they include stuff like Roblox in the definition of Metaverse. I personally hate that.

      If we kept it to SocialVR titles, the demographics would shift to something more balanced, afaik. VRC bans people under 13 when they are discovered/reported.

        Oh, so metaverse not Metaverse.

        Yeah, that isn’t confusing and stupid.

          Yeah it sucks. Meta shit all over the term. And then every other company jumped on board claiming their stuff is a metaverse too. Even Microsoft claimed Teams was a metaverse.

            Jesus I can’t think of anything I would want less than a Teams metaverse. Although I do have a macabre fascination as to how they could make the product even worse.
