When they announced the Metaverse, I knew that shit would fail.
Facebook SecondLife?
Without weird sexual kink rooms?
Nah.

Where I grew up there were huge insular communities of single parent families. Each household was small: a mother, a child or two and maybe a grandmother.
They were almost invisible IRL - working part time during school hours just wasn't profitable. Instead they'd be shut ins at home, rarely venturing out for the occasional supermarket shop or visit to the school gates. If you didn't know they existed you wouldn't know.
I somehow stumbled my way in to one of their circles for a while. I was amazed to discover how ubiquitous their secret existence was. Each community consisted of dozens of mums, in constant online communication with each other. The modern day versions with whatsapp groups and facebook pages must be quite formidable!
They took to Secondlife like ducks to water.
I eventually lost contact with the group I had became acquainted to. I think this is the enormous hidden demographic Metaverse may have hoped to target.
