Zuckerberg's silly haircut is a nod to Augustus - the first Roman emperor.
Augustus
(63 BC–AD 14), the first Roman emperor; born Gaius Octavius; also called (until 27 BC) Octavian. He was adopted by the will of his great-uncle Julius Caesar and gained supreme power by his defeat of Antony in 31 BC. In 27 BC he was given the title Augustus ("venerable") and became in effect the first Roman emperor.
I think Zuck has entirely lost touch with reality and he has billionaire brain. He must think of himself as "chosen" (by god or by fate) - to be more than any mere Roman emperor. I think the Metaverse is doomed due to this hubris. My hunch is that once he burns through too much money and Meta's stock price is in the toilet - the project will be renamed and then effectively, quietly shelved.
Some time in the future (10+ years or so?) when the tech is far better, cheaper, and simpler - maybe such silliness will actually work. But I just don't see it working anytime soon. Zuck isn't even 40 yet. If he mothballs the project - he could still try again in his 50s.
Unno what technology will make me want to strap on some googles (or anything) and "walking" a virtual isle to shop. I really don't understand any target audience for this.

Incels mostly. But I would love to get an application for people with motor disabilities to access the internet or web.
