What is the metaverse doing? (Genuine question, not an attack)

It’s similar to the case of the term “decentralization”

The reason you haven’t noticed it yet, is because most people don’t actually know what “metaverse” means… 

Currently, it’s:
“you buy land here with a closed corporation that owns the code, most of the art, and servers”

Whereas, what it actually means is an ecosystem where 
“Anyone can contribute, anyone can earn”

Passionate about big problems.                  Unaffiliated with any organization

To me it seems like crypto and the internet in general (not the walled gardens of Facebook or others) already are the “anyone can contribute, anyone can earn” metaverse you describe

Indeed, on the surface, it is.

The Internet itself is an Open Network.
Yet..,
Everything living off of it is private.

This is **a core contradiction** that can be seen throughout society today:
- America: Democratic Republic, yet capitalistic, aka token-weighted, governance
- Crypto: Decentralized Architecture, yet centralized code governance

Let's dig a bit deeper.
For instance, take the 'Metaverse' and the aspects that it is consists of:
- Hardware
- Code
- Content
What ties these aspects together?
- Corporations/DAOs

^There relies the core problem^

We live in a world where the individual is forgotten, despite them being what ties the world together. Every aspect of the system restricts the tools required for success, to the individual.

- Paradigm: "Hi I'm an_average_bloke, and I ~~work for~~ am a contributor for my communities, of which involve my football, porno, and books about war---AND I earn money by working for the people I love"
- Data Ownership: I make contributions where I am most valuable and most passionate in, and I set my own price (dependent on the spectrum of 'essential-goods')
- Efficiency: When I build code for one community, this contribution naturally helps another -- AKA removal of ALL gatekeeping to contribution from the aspects of content, code, hardware. A society-wide teamup,.., where,.., Open-source + reusability of code + declarative programming = Dependency-less system
- Governance: Standardization of Democratic Republic for all communities and financial entities.
In conclusion, the Metaverse is pure decentralization, democracy, and zero-gatekeeping to hardware, code, and software.

Note: There are much deeper conversations to be had for the 'how' for each of these categories. Additionally, just like from my original point, there are LOTS of flaws that you can pick out, on the surface. This is my first iteration.

That being said, your holes, questions, and interaction is encouraged.

Thank you.

The entire model needs to be redefined from:
- Paradigm: "Hi, I'm an_average_bloke, and I work for Amazon"
- Data Ownership: I work for Z, and ANY contribution you make is 100% owned by said entity
- Efficiency: For me to make a 1% difference for an internet product, I must either a) apply as an employee, or b) Rebuild it all from scratch
- Governance: Assets--rather than pure respect, trust, and leadership--is used to determine voting power in the capitalist systems today Ex. corporations=shares, DAOs = token-weighted voting, Blockchain = hardware-weighted voting, etc.
