Metaverse is going nowhere, IMO. I really don't think people want to spend a lot of time with VR helmets on, not seeing what's around them in real life. I only envision either disabled people (for whom this could be a great benefit but a very niche application) or NEETs who have nowhere to be all day using this.
By the way, Meta (Facebook) isn't as popular as it used to be, I know a lot of my friends and co-workers either deleted their accounts a few years ago or never log on anymore. I left FB a long time ago. No chance of getting back on just to use VR stuff.
