When I was first going to nightclubs, Disco and Funk were counter-cultures. Disco was hated by the establishment because it was associated with homosexuality at a time when the Toronto police were conducting bath house raids and arresting bookstores for carrying queer literature. Funk was, as one documentary put it, "An unapologetic celebration of blackness."
Today I can listen to Disco and Funk any time I want, all I have to do is push a shopping cart around the supermarket. And yes, I turned 60 this year.
Do you have some links? The stuff I've heard is the stuff they blast in night clubs and all I remember was boom - boom - boom - boom for minutes on end.
In all seriousness, I suspect this is probably correct. I imagine things will be very VR-oriented and Zuckerberg is actually on the right track, just way too early.
Maybe he should have targeted the elderly from the start. People who can't leave the house easily might get more out of the experience. It seems inane to me having a metaverse which is just the real world with bad graphics but without my health and mobility it could be a different story.
That is far from Meta's only problem. They are well known as a manipulative corporation with little accountability for their actions or care for their users.
