Facebook wants to open "welcoming" retail stores where people can experience the Metaverse.
I'm sure they do. That pic...like Peyton Manning and Mr. Potato Head had a son. That part about customers handing over their wallets (with drivers license, SSN card, credit cards, medical/insurance info, etc. inside) upon entering, I found a bit odd. Okay, I made that up. But did I? The places aren't open yet, but, Facebook being Facebook, that may very well be the price of admission into their "retail experience". "Do you want my daughter's first tooth too? Because I can do that...hell, it's about to come out anyway." Quote:

And will there be a Bullshit Bar, staffed by (diverse) brother-in-law types, there to dispense half-baked, outright wrong statements about every topic under the sun (politics, lawnmower hacks, college football analysis, "why TV is so full of fags all of a sudden", etc.)? Because you can't get the full Facebook experience without that! Quote:

I can think of a few more but they wouldn't fit on the building/storefront, or pass local obscenity laws. Quote:
Ah, the ol' switcheroo! Don't Listen to What We Say, Stare in Disbelief at What We Actually Do...Now Bend Over and Spread 'Em!™ "We said that Facebook, your selfie/validation-from-strangers HQ, isn't going to crawl up your ass on the daily. But we never said Meta, the overall company, didn't have every intention of doing so! You're not listening...". It hasn't even been a week and they're already being shady and full of crap. |

I have a feeling the next 1-2 years are going to be hilarious on the Facebook/Meta front.
They're going to say/do so many goofy things. It'll be awesome! |

I'm sure they won't ask for anything from you. They will offer you a drink and collect your trash for you so they can sample your DNA though...

Facebook, Meta, store.

I wonder if they will have helpful sections inside?

Two years from now, none of this will have panned out and none of it will be a thing, outside a handful of people. Just watch.
I just don’t think this outfit is the one people will throw in with. There’s just something forever-creepy/lame about them. Too much ill will, “you can’t trust us” and “WTF?!” just hangs over this bunch. All this company is good for is that one thing they’re known for, and once its addicted, older-skewing base dies off (or finally realize what’s what), this goofy company will fade like a fart in Macy’s. It’ll be the 2020’s MySpace, I truly believe. There’s just nothing there. Its deluded CEO thinks far too highly of it. |

On a related note - same outfit, right? - you’ll soon get to pay to look at your favorite attention whores, selfie artisans and check-out-my-camel-toe-while-I-cringe-dance mental patients.
I think a bunch of “creators” are in for a shock/rude awakening. Everyone loves you when you give it away for free, sweetie. Most won’t pay to experience your shallow narcissism and vocal fry. It'll basically be OnlyFans, minus any actual goods. Yeah, that's what everyone is eager to pay for! "I can almost see her nipple if I squint...here, take my money!"

I think Facebook, the social media thing we all know, will eventually fade as its older user base does, sure.
But I'm mainly talking about all this new, "Meta" stuff being anything anyone gives a flip about in any real, tangible way. Facebook's - sorry, Meta's - only real "hook" is that goofy social media thing, and it won't - can't - last forever. Any other company, maybe. Not Facebook/Meta. They've shit in everyone's mouths a bit too much over the years for sane, rational people to follow them on new journeys, IMO. But maybe my faith in humans is way too high and I'll be spectacularly, tragically wrong about it. |
