Zuckerberg, who has lost his integrity, is no longer able to create the brilliance of the metaverse

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on June 17 that the company is launching a digital designer clothing store called the "Meta Avatars Store," which is currently rolling out across platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, where users can buy their avatars virtual clothing. Avatars Store initially introduced brands including Balenciaga, Prada and Thom Browne. A spokesperson for Meta said the virtual costumes will be priced between $2.99 ​​and $8.99.

The question is, can Meta's move save the decadent Facebook and make up for the Metaverse that Zuckerberg himself blew up ? It looks very unoptimistic at present, mainly for two reasons:

On the one hand, it’s a matter of business integrity and character. When Zuckerberg bragged to Wall Street that he was a bigger bull than Facebook used to be, Wall Street investors found that it was a PPT story, so the stock price was blown away. Reverse and vigorous shorting, the current stock price is only one step away from the low point in 2019; on the other hand, after the bullshit broke, it encountered the United States' plan to shrink the balance sheet, leaving Zuckerberg's The time to make up the cowhide is getting shorter and shorter.

And Zuckerberg came up with such a model, and the core reason for promoting this digital commodity to all its associated applications is to make up the cows , that is, to prove to Wall Street that the cows he has blown can be done through performance and profits. made up.

Therefore, Zuckerberg can't wait to sell such virtual digital goods on his platform. So does this kind of commodity have value? As I said before, the essence of this kind of commodity is the model of "artist's shit". This kind of virtual commodity can have great value, or it can be worthless. See if anyone wants to play this game of drumming and passing flowers.

However, this kind of game of drumming and passing flowers for virtual goods is usually easier to hype in an economic environment where everyone has spare money in a very strong economy. The current economy is facing downward pressure. Whether it is employment, income, or the price of hard-connected assets such as housing prices, the price of hard-connected assets such as housing prices is declining . For most people, the most practical thing at present is to solve their problems in the physical world first. Instead of spending these vain luxury goods in the virtual world to satisfy this illusory vanity.

In fact, the predicament Facebook faces is similar to that of 58.com in China. In order to gain revenue and profit, it has given up its basic business bottom line and condoned all kinds of dishonest and deceptive business information, as well as all kinds of scams in the name of making friends. .

The core reason why Facebook is no longer played is that it has become a gathering place for liars all over the world in the name of making friends and online dating. After more people have been deceived, players around the world will know, and then TikTok just appeared again, so everyone began to shift positions and gave up Facebook, the world's largest distribution center for scammers on the Internet. This is the root of the Facebook platform crisis.

But Zuckerberg not only did not reflect on these fraudulent dating issues on the platform, but instead became a liar himself, packaging a metaverse story to the world, but unfortunately, this lie was voted on by Wall Street not long after. .

Of course, Zuckerberg still has many believers in our country. This is the so-called clustering of similar things. For example, the current companies that are keen on metaverse hype, Zhidu, Zhongqingbao, Blue Cursor, etc., are essentially They are all followers of Zuckerberg, and they also have the ruffian spirit of Zuckerberg.

As for the metaverse, I have always said that this is the product of the superposition of multiple cutting-edge technologies, and it is not achieved by advocacy or PPT . At present, these companies that are keen to hype the concept of the metaverse are either maliciously deceived or intentionally deceived. I hereby call on the regulatory authorities to strengthen rectification to protect investors from being cut off to the greatest extent.
