Why Metaverse is not going to kill Street Photography

First of all let me clarify: the futuristic world they intend to create if they can put it in the ass as far as I'm concerned. Their desire is to keep you plugged in to buy their products online and get as rich as possible. To do this, they invent an environmental emergency but they are the first to not respect the environment and really don't care. Don't fall into the trap. Yesterday I watched this video on youtube:

Samuel then admits that he was too alarmist and in any case he declares himself opposed to this feared world, a world in which Blackrock (with Gates and Zuckemberg as leader) would wallow in it.

Guys, it would be sufficient to say a thing: real life can’t be changed from a virtual one. Despite these monsters, these psychopaths who evidently never had a real social life or at least never managed to appreciate it would like to reduce the population to a few entities and, moreover, also locked up to look at a simulated reality, receiving the illusion of really living. They think they are playing with our lives, with AI and masturbation instead of real relationships between people. They are going against the nature and for this reason they are doomed to fail.

On the comments to that video I particularly appreciate one from Snax:

Imagine a world where people want to meet each other in a real world again ... stopping using cell phones and all this useless social shit.

I strongly believe in reality and I don’t think Metaverse will be the future of the individuals. The sociopaths will disappear. I believe that on the contrary there will be a return to a healthy sociality, avoiding the horror of mistrust of the other. They are committed to a project that unnaturally goes against the human being. And they disguise it with pandemics and climate emergencies. But they do it with manipulation and with false science. A science bought by them.

In these two years I have been able to see how many street photographers hate this dimension in which they have relegated us. Which, moreover, goes against everything that a normal street photographer loves: humanity and its social aspect. On the other hand, those who have joined, also manipulated for political reasons, are not very lucky. We pass by a famous street photographer who wanted to propose restrictions on his country in Mexico for one of his workshops that the workshop did not sell to the ones who stopped to make street photos.

If you are a nerd is possble that Metaverse can trap you in a illusion of life. Real life will stay. Another comment under the video says:

The real people who work for a living and make the actual world go round will still be out there for us to photograph. The nerds and anti-socials will be living in the metaverse, so no loss.

I can’t say just like anyone how will be the future, but knowing a little about nature and its course I have no doubt that reality will continue to exist for the people who want it. For others, free to marry a robot.

I can recommend you don’t eat all the things they say to eat. They are anti-human and will no prevail. Have you ever heard of Zuckemberg? It looks like Napoleon Dynamite. A nerd with no talent, in fact he also appropriated the idea that made him very rich. And so does Gates. Stop with feeding Godzilla. Mythizing those just because they are rich doesn't help to see reality.

Street Photography is not going to die because real life continues to stay, not depending if nerds stay at home to watch a 3D porn video or buying products on a virtual commercial center. We have seen it in these 2 years. Street photography adapts to what public space offers. They can be empty streets or streets in protest. I currently photograph most of the people wearing masks. In a year anything can change. As a witness with a camera I am here and I do my own thing.
