The metaverse represents the next frontier of social technology that aims to deliver a sense of presence by allowing people to connect as if they are in the same room regardless of their location.

“I mean this gets to kind of the core of what the vision around virtual and augmented reality is of like delivering a sense of presence is if you're there together no matter where you actually are in the world”

Marques Brownlee believes that while current virtual reality technology causes social isolation, augmented reality has the potential to become a useful, integrated part of daily life.

“I think meta's idea is if we put enough money into this it miniaturizes over and over and over again it's got cameras it's got sensors suddenly looks like I'm just wearing glasses I see the whole world but I also get the VR experience”

The metaverse is a poorly developed and largely empty platform that fails to provide a compelling user experience despite massive investment.

“The Meta is the dumbest place look at cobwebs you guys I'm so scared I'm so scared oh look I can do something with this what can I do with this wait I came off of the the painting dude wait where'd it go oh oh my God oh my God it's spider stupid you seem kind of scared you seem to be overcompensatin”
