(Averting) Dystopia: Learning from the Current Metaverse Citizens to Prevent Disaster - Layl Bongers, CELPHASE

Our industry is full of lofty goals and promises of new opportunities of working in the metaverse. Some consider this inevitable, some consider this overblown, and some consider this dystopia. Some, however, consider this their daily reality, and they're pretty happy with it... most of the time. Join Layl in an exploration of the much overlooked current citizens of the metaverse. The many content creators and internet personalities that build the backbone of the current and next generation of online content, the industries that support them, and more importantly, why their fans care. Listen to the harrowed tales that make up their daily work schedule, the issues they're facing, and why they're deeply worried about the dawn of what we call "the metaverse". But, they are in many ways living what we are working towards. If we listen to the issues they face right now, we can learn from it and build a better future. Let's look into this crystal ball, and imagine a better metaverse. Man. That is a lot of anime.
