Hey, the Zucc looks slightly less creepy as a VR puppet in that propaganda clip. I guess that's something.

For real, though. All of the marketing is "it's coming, it will be everywhere" which makes it sound roughly as appealing and positive as Covid. What is supposed to be the upside to the proles that are being pressured to take this all in? No matter what I read about it, it reads like a threat more than a promise.

    It's just to get VCs on board with his plans for the future. I'm pretty sure Zuckerberg bought Occulus thinking of the gaming possibilities first, like everyone else who is normal also did, because there's real future for VR gaming. But Zuckerburger is currently facing slowing growth numbers for both Facebook AND Instagram, his two biggest cards, so he looked at his portfolio and now decided that VR is the future.
