Science fiction did that well before Facebook.
Few people think of Fortnite as a Metaverse.
Most think of a Metaverse as a place you can do many things in an immersive environment.
Random games don't come to mind as universal immersive worlds.

They consider Minecraft and fortnight part of the Metaverse.

Reply to ELI5 How do banks work? by RussianPremier
You deposit money.
They loan your money out.
The interest is their profit.
The government insures banks via FDIC. Lots of regulations on how to do all this but essentially this is the gist.
TL;DR Banks loan out your money to other people. Other people pay the bank to use your money.
