I would prefer they work on fixing the real world issues rather than creating some BS "metaverse".
The entire concept sounds awful. Even in the book it came from Snow Crash, it is part of a dystopian future. FB is the least trustworthy company on Earth to be leading the way.
"Decentralization" is basically just another word for gamification of finance. It doesn't really give many new opportunities to people, it just gives opportunities to people already in a strong financial position. A person who doesn't have money to survive now doesn't have money for crypto, NFT, or any other financial "opportunities".
All I see here are a bunch of trendy buzz words used to market a terrible concept.
