> **Visual Note:** A vibrant neon-lit cityscape with people wearing VR headsets appears on a stock or trading platform, and the Ethereum logo glows on the right with a TV screen showing a scene featuring it. The image illustrates the metaverse concept referenced in the post—comparing The 100's "City of Light" to blockchain-based virtual worlds like Decentraland (MANA), The Sandbox (SAND), and Axie Infinity (AXS), with Enjin.

> **Video Content:** The video shows a man in a striped shirt, likely Joey from the TV show Friends, making a facial expression of skepticism or judgment as he points his finger, then taps his temple, suggesting the metaverse narrative described in the post is a questionable idea. No on-screen text, tickers, or numbers appear in the clip itself, but the accompanying post discusses the declining state of major metaverse platforms like Meta's Horizon Worlds, Roblox, The Sandbox, and Decentraland. The man's dismissive gesture visually reinforces the post's message about the metaverse struggling to maintain relevance and value.  

> 
> "The Metaverse narrative  
isn't going through its best moment...

 Meta turns off the lights of its metaverse forever: Horizon Worlds ceases to exist.

 Roblox with losses of seventy billion.

 The Sandbox only gets engagement from its events.

@decentraland
 have in-world voting booths for proposals on the DAO?

Would be a cool concept. Have a voting booth in Genesis plaza where players can cast their votes with their voting power.

A visual that helps new players kind of understand that their vote matters around"
