There is every reason to believe that the upcoming round of development of the metaverse industry will throw a huge number of vacancies onto the labor market. Any freelancers - be it tutors, DJs, music composers, artists, designers, retailers, programmers and just fans of neural networks - will start earning in the world of metaverses. Not to mention the millions of gamers who will be able to monetize their gaming achievements in real money thanks to this.

Progress cannot be stopped.

In a year, two or three, we will face the inevitable - the mass adoption of metaverses.

Many say that the global financial crisis will prevent this, but such reasoning does not reflect reality.

If the crisis breaks out, it will ultimately only contribute to the departure of the mass consumer to the sphere of even greater consumption of Internet services. The same thing happened in 2020: during the corona-dump, the shares of the largest suppliers of the online gaming industry soared by many tens of percent.

Remember how the coronavirus gave a boost to marketplaces and everyone who provided services online. Now transfer this to metaverses and imagine what is happening there. We are no longer talking about the usual online stores or online consultations. Now these are entire worlds where you do not just order a product, but interact with it in virtual reality.

For example, you do not flip through a clothing catalog, but walk through a virtual shopping center, where you try on things on your avatar in real time. Or you buy a house in the metaverse, decorating it with NFT, and its real analogue is waiting for you somewhere on an island in the ocean. Or you test some product or medicine on your avatar, and then look at the result.

Now it all sounds wild, but remember my words in a few years.
