Why the Metaverse Was Never About You

The Metaverse was sold as the future of humanity but behind the hype was something far more disturbing.
🧠 Total surveillance, digital addiction, corporate control, and the monetization of human existence itself… all hidden behind cartoon avatars and buzzwords.
💸 Billions were burned. Privacy was sacrificed. And users were turned into products, not pioneers.
⚠️ Why Big Tech pushed the Metaverse so aggressively. How it blurred the line between reality and control. And why its quiet collapse exposed one of the most dangerous business ideas ever attempted
This episode breaks down how the Metaverse wasn’t just a failed tech project but a warning about where unchecked corporate power, digital escapism, and profit-at-all-costs thinking can lead.
