I have such a hard time believing VR is going anywhere. I’ve thought that for a long time, but after a year where people had scads of excess time and money, to not see a breakthrough moment makes it even harder to imagine. But, it’s still interesting to see a company lean so hard into it despite that weakness, and this could well be a very prescient concern. In conclusion, this story was unexpectedly interesting! Also I’m glad you noted the two moderation developments by FB, I didn’t notice those elsewhere and I’m glad they’re making (and sharing) some progress in these tools; credit where it’s due, especially since FB so rarely deserves it.
