What a joke, Mark Zuckerberg is doing everything he can to save his dubious reputation. He would love to be seen as the inventor of the ‘metaverse’, despite Second Life and more recent, Epic Games with Fortnite successfully did that way before his attempt. He so desperately wants to save his reputation and be admired like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are admired, he will go to great lengths for that. (
see project Amplify on the NY times)
With "project Amplify" well underway I wouldn’t be surprised that this name change is a part of that project and they want to detach Mark from the (deserved) negative press and his responsibility and place him on some sort of self created inventors pedestal.
Unfortunately for Mark Zuckerberg, he is (rightly so) known by many as a moral incompetent money grabber, who with his polarizing hate for profit platforms, in just 10 years time, has brought polarization to a boiling point no matter the subject, ruined democracies and eroded the collective trust and intellect by turning every 3rd person into a narcissist.
And he wants us to look up to him?
GTFO, I’ve flushed down turds that I admire more!
