Yes. No one uses that term outside of a marketing context. Facebook "meta" shoot I think Microsoft is trying to advertise video game avatars for business meetings as "metaverse avatars".

I was using it in the context of its origin, and not marketing anything, to be clear.
You're telling me, you log into VRChat or some other VR social game and you hit up your buddies on discord like "Bro waiting on you in the metaverse right now you coming?" Like that? XD because all I'm saying is that sounds silly when used unironically
Just as crazy as it sounded to play games on your phone when Nintendo had just become a household name
