Yet we live in a society with people who have similar power. Disgusting.

I think you make a valid point, I have seen people in the same situation, they legitimately don't want to change their situation and it is true that if you give them money It will probably by used for nonsense but I think that homeless people or poor people in general dont necessarily want to be poor, it's not like they wake up one day and say: "You know what'd be great, have no money and beg for food in the streets", I think it's a matter of luck, I for example was lucky enough to have a good education and make something out of it, but there are people who are born in the streets and of course they think there's no way out of it, nobody taught them otherwise.
Yeah I agree, almost everybody knows that big tech companies are selling and using their data to make profits, but the majority of this people don't care enough about it, just like smoking, they know smoking is bad they just don't have the knowledge/courage/will or whatever to change their habits.
It does sounds nice at first glance but think about it, do you really want to live in a "Player One" movie, let alone allow huge companies to know everything about you, and I mean everything, I'm talking neurological information. We know very little of our physical world and we already want to scape to a virtual one because reality sucks?, I'm not buying it.
On a side note, I have a cousin who is really into VR, I can tell you, it's not the cousin I knew, he changed and it's depressing, he doesn't want to interact with reality anymore, it's crazy.
We are doomed
Look at the bright side, looks like you avoid a shity company.
Completely agree, we are indeed forced to choose between starving to death or work.
I say why bother?, I mean sure, it does sound fun, when playing for an hour or 2 but think of the social consequences in the long run, imagine people spending 8hrs a day in VR for a long period of time won't being able to distinguish between reality and virtual reality.
I think that this whole metaverse idea in itself will do more harm than good, either owned by a billionaire or the open-source community, this kind of technology development is not worth it. Furthermore, I would rather spend those resources elsewhere.
