Even tech giants with unlimited agency are like this, let alone small companies—mastering basic hardware configurations can already be considered a small achievement. From the essence of strategy, positioning the metaverse merely as a hybrid form of 3D space and social platforms still revolves around upgrading and iterating user experience. A product or community lacking self-drive will largely remain constrained by performance issues. Once the experience is poor, users will inevitably abandon it and seek better platforms. Therefore, a futuristic metaverse environment must be bound to user interests. This binding is not coercive but rather a free and autonomous co-creation of the metaverse by people. A vast economic system will be established and bound through invisible participation. Within it, whether it's the upgraded experience of hardware or the refinement of the economic system, one's own contributions and participation will significantly influence the ecosystem and personal interests. After a certain period, users will inevitably find it hard to leave this environment.

Additionally, we must note that the construction of the metaverse cannot be completed overnight, and technological advancements are rapid. The emergence of unforeseen technologies along the way will directly bring new inspirations to the metaverse. The evolution of the metaverse may far exceed our expectations. Just as the internet has brought us—within just half a century, it has connected 63% of humanity. Today, digital transmissions of ideas are forming words in your mind, words input by members of humanity entirely different from you, with no physical contact. The extent to which information is preserved and accessed is unprecedented, and connecting with ideas and others has become increasingly easy and vivid. All of this felt very strange when it first appeared. Perhaps the metaverse we see now evokes the same feeling people had when they first encountered the internet—excited yet ignorant. But there’s no need to mythologize the metaverse.

There is still a long way to go before achieving a persistent, living digital world—a metaverse that provides people with a sense of presence, social representation, and shared mental space, as well as the ability to participate in a vast virtual economy with profound social impact. The void the metaverse aims to enter is not an empty illusion.
