it's just a continuation, on a much deeper level, of the bifurcation created by social media: some (most, at this point?) will spend their whole lives living in this fake world consuming what they think is reality, while a few, including those who _appear_ on social media the most, are out doing anything else.

this almost feels criminal/class warfare. it's freeing up even more time for the "Creators" to stay offline while keeping the masses locked in. welcome to the metaverse!
