        So much of the credibility given to the "metaverse" comes from media treating it incorrectly as a new beat and parachuting in reporters with no understanding or knowledge of the virtual reality space or its history--beyond the press release immediately in front of them.

          Also, even a decade ago, and in plenty of instances since then, the virtual influencers were better animated, moved more smoothly and could animate taking well enough that they didn't need the cheap hack of wearing a mask to cover up the CGI model's lips. polygon.com/2020/11/30/21726800/hololive-vtuber-projekt-melody-kizuna-ai-calliope-mori-vshojo-youtube-earnings

              It's just depressing to see mainstream media outlets taken in by easily faked "big numbers" on social platforms, and reporting on this low effort bs like its brand new.
