Fuck no there was a big demand for VR before Facebook came, Facebook just went in and turned it from a VR industry to a Facebook industry and continuously bought and buried companies(to the point where the FTC stepped in and has been hounding their ass for more than a year over it) then killed creativity by paying the people who worked in these companies to do the absolute minimum and not innovate(When carmack left he said that Meta is bloated and inefficient), right now theyre killing off echo VR(one of the biggest multiplayer VR games) because of its “low player count in the tens of thousands”

Did you know that the guy leading Meta’s efforts in VR/AR, Andrew Bosworth, is the same guy who oversaw Facebook’s advertising efforts in 2016 and 2017? That he literally said facebook ads helped trump win? Thats the motherfucker leading the VR industry right now

You sound deranged. Every big company is bloated, which is why they all just fired a shitload of people. VR was super niche and would have never taken off without something cheap and that worked well. That was the Quest 2.

This just in, political ads help politicians win elections.

Deranged? you know i saw your first reply before you edited it and sheesh you are raging, you work at facebook or something? Man’s acting like i insulted his whole bloodline😂

VR would have naturally developed a Quest 2 when it needed to and could, it’d also be a lot more organic, open and have a ton more & better games and a lot more competition incentivizing devs to improve, you act like a multi billion dollar company annexing the market and buying everything is the only way forward

>this just in, political ads help politicians win elections

Your uncaring attitude towards one of the biggest companies in the world admitting to have conducted the biggest psyop in history is concerning, your even more uncaring attitude towards the most powerful person in the VR industry being the same one that lead advertising for Facebook and personally overseen the massive psyop that helped trump win is the only thing in here that can be called deranged

I didn't edit any of my posts. Thinking you might actually be mentally ill at this point.

Facebook ads are conspiratorial psychological operations now? Dude seriously, get help. This isn't normal behavior.

This is mentally ill rambling. I don't even know what to say anymore.

Do you think the more ad hominems you throw around the more sound your argument(or lack there-of)? You are genuinely sad, anyone who sees how much you defend facebook would think you are part of it’s board of directors

I think you are just trolling, there is no way any human with real views and opinions would think like you so i will just close this off, have a good day.

Wow, what a psyop

>"They weren't running misinformation or hoaxes. They weren't micro targeting or saying different things to different people," Bosworth wrote. "They just used the tools we had to show the right creative to each person. The use of custom audiences, video, ecommerce, and fresh creative remains the high water mark of digital ad campaigns in my opinion."

Whoa, this is pretty much a full blown psyop at this point.

It didn't take off, and there are enough gamers with money but they want games for their expensive hardware. Meta is a burden to the ecosystem.
