A review of 86,565 social media posts related to metaverse technology showed only 14% negative sentiment.
A team of researchers from the United Arab Emirates recently conducted a study to discover what people thought about the metaverse on social media.
The team curated a dataset of 86,565 posts on the X social media platform (formerly Twitter) and used machine learning to divide them into three categories representing sentiment: positive, neutral and negative.
According to the researchers, the distribution showed that posts expressing positive sentiments about the metaverse took up the lion’s share of the data with 45,506 (53% of the total). The researchers identified 28,663 posts displaying neutral sentiment, making up 33% of the total, and the final 14% (12,396 posts) showed negative sentiment.
