The vast majority of Russians – 90% – do not know what metaverses are, but more than a third of respondents (37%) felt that they would do more harm than good, RBC reports citing VTsIOM survey data.
According to the survey results, approximately one in five respondents (23%) have heard the term “metaverse” but do not understand it, and 67% heard about the metaverse for the first time during the survey.
Basically, the term is familiar to young people – among the age groups of 18–24 years and 25–34 years of age, 17% are aware. Among those over 60 years old, only 5% know about the metaverses.
At the same time, 37% suggested that the creation of metaverses would do more harm than good. More often than others, this opinion is held by 35-44-year-olds (45%), 9% reported a predominant benefit, more often young people 18-24 years old (23%). Every fifth respondent believes that the creation of metaverses will bring benefit and harm in equal measure – 19%, and another 18% said that there will be neither harm nor benefit from the phenomenon.
Among the options for harm were called avoidance of reality (named by 37% of skeptics), lack of live communication (11%), degradation (9%), and the threat of fraud (6%).
