    remember when Bezos tried this and it failed in just over a year?

      Zucc's total pivot into VR/AR is entirely because he learned the hard way that breaking into the smartphone market this late isn't happening and the only possible long term strategy left was a hail mary bet on what the next hardware platform will be

      He's not even wrong about it

          Which is lucky for the world. Him insisting that his robot ass has to be the face of VR alone probably halves the chance that 'Meta' will succeed

            His idea about vr isn't bad, but the problem this day when talk about vr to peoples, it's usually tie to gaming. Peoples have short attention span, which is short video platform like tiktok so popular, even then bytedance still venture into e-commerce business. Using vr for other than gaming is too far fetch right now, don't think it will work and with him as the face, after those scandal, lmao good luck

        it's actually fuckin insane how static the "dynamism" of post-internet capitalism has become. like anti-competition is so fundamental to the current system that these megacorps that have more money than most nations are unable to develop laterally and where we used to get new crises accompanying new developments now we get no developments and new crises that are just old crises at a larger scale.
