When the Meta (formerly Facebook) CEO announced on Monday that employees will now be called "metamates," the internet had a field day.

Many think that as of now, it simply has no legs:

Mark Zuckerberg stares at a cartoon version of himself in a virtual world and tries to pick an outfit for his avatar to wear. Zuckerberg flicks his hand to change the avatar’s apparel, switching from a black shirt, slacks and white sneakers to a skeleton costume to an astronaut suit.

Other than potential employment for computer gamers, I see nothing worthwhile here.
