How many more warning signs does Mark Zuckerberg need to see before he pulls the plug on his metaverse?

For the uninitiated, the metaverse is a concept — or buzzword, depending on who you ask — that gained traction among tech and media companies in the last year-plus as the next step in virtual connectivity.

Zuckerberg himself has called it "the successor to the mobile internet." Apple CEO Tim Cook, on the other hand, isn't sure that most people could even define what the heck the metaverse is.

But Zuckerberg is all-in on the idea, even changing his company's name to reflect the big bet. He's touted that the technology already exists to launch people into virtual worlds.

That includes Meta's Quest 2 headset, which costs $400 and can plug users into the company's virtual-reality experience Horizon Worlds. But so far, the overall experience of being in Meta's metaverse is lacking — for both the public and even those within the company.
