I mostly agree, save for the aside about VR; social VR, when done well, is a connecting and expressive experience and not an isolating one.

As someone who has spent close to 40 hours in VRChat so far (not to mention how many tweaking avatars in Blender and Unity), I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. Of all the VR experiences out there nothing beats the ability to just make whatever skin you want for yourself and go around roleplaying in virtual worlds with other people. Or show off your creativity with shaders. You can be a walking shadertoy of your own design and awe people with raytraced fractals or whatever you wish. And it's free! It honestly feels like an early internet forum.
