Zuck should just let Marques do their presentations. This was so much more enlightening and frankly convincing than the hour long meta keynote.
@Emir Ćosić Do you have any idea how much money a creator that has 16 million subscribers makes?
Here’s a clue. He certainly doesn’t need to shill for extra money.
@Umar Haque Did you watch the whole video
Marques’s presentation was just as trash as metas. Metaverse is weak.
what do you think is happening here?
@Gabrius Valenzuela It’s a huge channel with a huge audience. Meta doesn’t care about what kind of publicity they’re getting, only that the Metaverse is treated seriously, which this video perpetuates.
The flow and utility of AMC2V integrating with online stores is just amazing concept through and through
reported for crypto spamming
@Will Reese Report it as spam.
@Matthew Ryan Yeah I realized that shortly after leaving the reply. 2k likes with 0 replies already made it hella suspicious but I knew its a scam for sure after seeing the other similar comments with the same ratio. Didn’t know it had to do with crypto tho but can’t say that’s surprising.
@Will Reese Crypto scam
@Will Reese These are scam comments promoting some crypto nonsense. Don’t fall for it.
That little demo of the virtual displays on top of the laptop was infinitely more convincing than any marketing material meta has ever produced
@mithikfish2 if you watch the video with mark on Adam savages channel it’s clear that’s he’s passionate about it and knows a lot about it, but he is definitely not very charismatic lol
@Jens Huxley Oh I never said I’d buy it lmao
@DramaLama you’re just trolling now. quest 2 sold 15 million units. ps5 sold 22 million. clearly at-least some people are happy to use a headset for more than 10 minutes
cheap plastic look and cheap components for 1,5k xD who buy that lol.
@Grizzly it’s not because he’s a nerd, it’s because he’s a soulless billionaire that would throw you into an incinerator if it meant Facebook’s revenue would increase
Marques, I just wanted to say that I really like this style of video, with the clear chapters and continuing thoughts. This is the most fun I’ve had watching one of your videos in a while!
Lol this is just META advertisement, as many people loosing hope on meta stock. they are trying to move stock up.
With everything going on I am fully putting trust in AMC2V and I can give you three reasons why you should as well: Stability, utility, brand power
@Richard Clayton tf no way I fell for that lol i thought it’s something related to metaverse as every comment is about that
@Richard Clayton was off putting seeing multiple of the same comment like that all suspiciously with similar like counts and no replies
@THE BUTTER FLUFF MAN Its a scam…
@Naud van Dalen wildddd, that’s so meta 😆
This bot actually bought 1000 likes to promote his scam. Report it. I will.
What I’ve found with VR is that people need to find their ‘thing’ and find it fast or the headset ends up on a shelf collecting dust. It sounds ridicolous to say this but the setup of putting the headset on, finding the controllers, probably booting up the device (which in reality takes 30 seconds) is eons compared to unlocking your always on phone. It’s a physical barrier to entry measured in seconds that people don’t want to waste.
Beat Saber is that aha moment for a lot of new VR users but that’ll get the average user to commit to maybe a month’s worth of use, but then something incredible (or something necessary for work) needs to come next. E.g. if a native Google Earth app for Quest 2 came, that would be the non-gaming aha moment for the mass user base.
For me, IB Cricket, it’s the one app/game that brings me back to VR on a daily basis and has done for over a year. Everyone else I know who got a VR headset no longer uses it. The software it still mostly at an impressive tech demo phase.
It needs to be the infinite monitor, that is the use case, a better faster end cheaper infinite screen for productivity. If seated tethers wont matter.
I play VR as much as i can ever since i bought the quest 2 on May 2021. I comitted to VR because i hang out with friends there and relax in my room while in another world. Sometimes drink and go to virtual bars. When i get drunk im safe since im at home. I go outside and socialize normally with people, But outside is pretty expensive and i want the comfort of my home.
Y’all saying that now but in 10 years VR will dominate the market and so forth
What kept me in vr is sim racing and flight simulation . That’s it , beyond that most other experiences wear off in an hour or two .
Flight sims in VR is amazing. The headset and GPU prices need to come down but it’s still a lot of fun for a retired old guy. But maybe I’m not the demographic that FB/Meta even cares about.
Wow I’m so surprised you mentioned AMC2V . I have been keeping eye on it for a while and it seems very promising.
@THE BUTTER FLUFF MAN that comment is a bot spamming everywhere
What is it
I’ve been using VR for about 3 years now (with an Index) and I think there really is a huge market for productivity headsets versus per gaming.
Imagine a comfortable enough head set to work 3-4 hours in a virtual environment, multiple monitors and just a laptop. That’s what I want to see.
I don’t understand how this is more productive than just having multiple monitors attached to a laptop. Which I’ve done, starting years ago. Is the issue crappy/distracting work environments?
I like your continued ability to rise above the detail and sizzle, and keep your big picture perspective. Love your work. Bravo
The metaverse will go down in history as one of the biggest moneypits of all time
Completely agree
A metaverse is inevitable, but Facebooks Meta verse will probably not make it very far.
I like what meta is doing i just think they’re early, and launching something this new, this early, in an economy that is contracting, is very difficult.
