Nah, it was covid to instigate digital IDs and extra (((compliance passports))) to filter the people that won't lie down and do whatever they say from society.
Metaverse is a mix of 'we can bleed the goyim even drier', 'bread and circuses' and most importantly, trying to gain such a monopoly over the new emerging medium that they control all cultural dialogue and growth of that medium.
The old internet exploded in such a way that was wildly dangerous to the elite's power. I mean like IRC hackerman days where they would steal government secrets for shits and giggles. That's why they sanitised shit and forced everyone into their few bigs sites that they can now censor and control reality (or people's perception of it, 'the narrative') with.
They intend to do the same for VR but are getting in early.
