Why metaverse might not be good idea

 1. Health problems

Digital use can let you escape the harshness of reality and be relieved from the stresses of life but excessive use of metaverse to escape reality might have its own impact on one's mentality and health including depression and psychoses. The more immersive the experience in the metaverse would become the more people will struggle with post-VR sadness.

We have a clear example of internet and gaming addiction already being a big problem for kids and adults and being attached to the entire thing could even result in being a greater problem in the future.

2. Desensitization

Most people will be playing violent games within the metaverse where it would feel very real when being interacted with or what you're doing. So is there a possibility that this could lead to people becoming more desensitized to the behavior in real life and be more arrogant due to the way it felt might be enjoyable for them such as shooting or fighting?

3. Privacy and identity hacking

The privacy of individuals would be one big concern in the metaverse as the technology could track our data or behavior which might be more invasive than what we have now. for example, our movement, eye tracking, and reaction could be monitored in the metaverse and could be provided for marketing advertisements.

How will one be able to protect his identity from identity theft as we would be resembled by avatars it would be a much greater threat if one's online identity is taken away within a virtual world where he might have a business or has invested a lot of money within it, for example, buying shares or part of the land. What steps would be taken to avoid deep fakes and reduce cybercrime in the virtual world?
