I don't think that's stupid at all.

I think the metaverse would be cool too, but I think it needs to be made by enthusiasts and not heartless corporations. Or crypto scammers. So while I don't care that Meta's shitty attempt is gone, I'm still looking forward to something cooler in the future.

People hang out in video games anyway, so hanging out in the metaverse isn't that farfetched imo.
