Yep, metaverse was the stupidest idea ever. I said it at the time back in October/November 2021 when the stock was at its peak and then proceeded to interview realizing I was on a sinking ship. Sadly since I suck at interviews I could only get offers for much lower than what I had even after the collapsed share price.

"Year of Efficiency" immediately following "Year of Metaverse" succinctly captures how things went lol
