Comment on Smoking avatars and online games: how big tobacco targets young people in the metaverse

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.
