90% of technology companies quit before making a hit VR product. We should encourage Meta to spend more.

Let's hope Meta sinks every last dime of their profit into "the next big thing" that is their VR division

I'd much rather see meta burn money into the fun project that is VR rather than AI or crypto.

Meh, the problem will always be that Meta will use its VR platform as a data vacuum first and foremost, which makes it a nonstarter (at least for me)
