Okay, here’s the blog post:

The hype train’s still chugging along, isn’t it? Let’s be clear: the idea that the Otherside metaverse – the brainchild of Bored Ape Yacht Club – is “making a comeback” deserves about as much attention as a digital sloth sprinting a marathon. The article, in its bafflingly optimistic assessment, simply states that “Its crypto-themed metaverse, Otherside, has been a long time coming.” A long time coming? It’s been “a long time coming” since 2021, folks. 2021! That’s practically a geological epoch in the frenetic world of NFTs and speculative crypto.

Let’s unpack this, shall we? The core claim—that Otherside is experiencing a “comeback”—is fundamentally built on a misunderstanding of both the metaverse and, frankly, human patience. The metaverse, as a concept, has already endured a spectacular implosion. Remember Decentraland and The Sandbox? They were once touted as the future, now they’re… well, they’re still around, but with drastically reduced foot traffic and a palpable sense of existential dread. To suggest that a project launched during the height of NFT mania, abandoned for years, is suddenly experiencing a resurgence is, to put it mildly, delusional.

The assertion that “a long time coming” implies a justified delay is particularly amusing. What could possibly justify *years* of inaction? Perhaps the Bored Ape Yacht Club team was busy meticulously researching the optimal way to design a persistent, interoperable virtual world. Or maybe they were simply enjoying a very long, very expensive vacation. The inherent tension in the claim is that the primary reason for its delay was a complete lack of anything *to* do within it. The platform launched with a single, rather underwhelming, event – a tokenized concert featuring a hologram of Snoop Dogg. That didn’t exactly set the world on fire, did it? It achieved a peak attendance of 60,000 users in a virtual space that felt remarkably empty.

The implication, of course, is that this is now “making a comeback.” The fact that the same problems persist—a lack of compelling content, a confusing user interface, and a general feeling of “what am I even doing here?”—doesn’t seem to matter. It’s like suggesting that a broken car is experiencing a “revival” simply because the mechanic has replaced a tire.

Furthermore, the article doesn’t address the fundamental issue: the Bored Ape Yacht Club itself. The NFT collection, at its peak, was driven by exclusivity and status, a phenomenon now largely exhausted. The value proposition of owning a Bored Ape has plummeted, and the ecosystem, reliant on the hype surrounding the apes, is struggling to maintain momentum. Simply saying it’s “making a comeback” ignores the fact that the underlying asset is essentially worthless.

It’s a classic case of wishful thinking fueled by a relentless cycle of marketing and the eternal hope that the next big thing will somehow, miraculously, materialize. Let’s be realistic: Unless someone decides to actually *build* something interesting in the Otherside metaverse—a genuinely engaging game, a thriving social hub, or perhaps a reason to actually *want* to spend time there—the “comeback” will remain just that: a wistful, largely forgotten footnote in the turbulent history of digital collectibles.
