Imagine some random Korean app making a more popular metaverse than meta themselves

We are hitting dystopia levels that shouldn't even be possible.

[Newidhan]

So counter strike weapon skins have finally become mainstream

Influencers are just sales people, but you aren't the customer. The sponsors are. You are what they sell, and they do it without gathering or sharing your data. They do it by being you, not by way of impersonation, but by projection. Influencers sell themselves, but as a projection of your thoughts and desires. They're caricatures. Their literally your avatars, and while you may not choose or design them yourself, you adopt them in some form by following and engaging with them. Social media is just their measuring stick.

Our society is coming to an end just not in the way we thought

Woah Im only 22 years old and I feel most disconnected with this new Technologie and cyberculture than my grandfhater with the modern smartphones.

[punkcanuck]

Talks about virtual influencers, completely ignores the Vtuber industry.

[ReptilianLepton]

Second Life was a warning, and hardly anyone listened.

[cringlator]

I’m in my mid twenties and this stuff feels crazy. Can’t imagine how it’ll be when I’m middle aged.

[gilangignasraharjo]

Your failure to mention V-tubers blows my mind.

[ZadakLeader]

Zepeto isn't even a new thing.

A decade or more ago Zwinky was a thing I also played as a teen. It was fun, 2D virtual character chatroom, similar to what Club Penguin was but for older demographics

[smash]

The problem with trying to make wealth out of a modern market like this is that I really don't want to be a part of it.

[osma]

Yeah we are about to reach the cringiest era of advertisemenet

[Erikk_]

that's the smoothest loop transition i've seen you guys do so far. Good job!

[rairaur]

Just wait until EE learns about the existence of Vtubers and how much Hololive and others make

[Michael-njum]

I just found your channel and have already learned a lot in the short time ive been watching. Subbed.
All the best ✌👊

[lajya]

20 years ago, I thought we were gonna use all this future extraordinary computer power to uncover universe mysteries and cure cancer.

[iafozzac]

Oh look, an ad disguised as content
Also, talking about virtual influencers on YouTube without talking about vtubers and instead talking about an app no one in the west has ever heard about just paints you even more as sellouts

[DiversionG]

Habbo hotel, second life and influencers from the 2000s: Am I a joke to you

[TomSinister]

man these shorts are really far below the quality of the content in the main videos. I dont feel like I am learning any broader applicable economic concepts when I watch these shorts like I do with the larger videos.
