    The metaverse was stillborn.

    It was the hype for like 4 weeks and was dead before it even existed

        I feel like part of the impetus for the name change, and perhaps the extreme hype to some extent, came from trying to distance themselves from the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

      Other businesses got hyped and signed up in droves, but they forgot they need a user base.
