On August 6th, 2022, Reuters sent out a tweet about Meta’s new project. The tweet reads…
"ICYMI: Meet Polar, a metaverse-born singer, dancer and influencer. With 1.6 million followers on TikTok and more than over 500,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel, she has ambitions to perform in the real world"
Now, the very first time I looked at this tweet, I think I shared the same gut reaction that many others had who saw it as well.
For those who don’t know who Polar is, let me give you a quick explanation to catch you up. Polar is a 3d character produced by the folks over at Five Minute Crafts and being pushed by Meta, otherwise known as Facebook.
In this video I will discuss why the Internet collectively rejected Polar.
