My experience with it is sub-par. The performance is so bad that even on my fairly high end PC that I only hit around 60 FPS in a populated lobby. It's hard to be immersed when it feels like you've just got a screen strapped to your face and things momentarily warp because the VR runtime is trying to smooth things out. Not to mention the copyright infringement, lack of child safety features. VRChat is a disaster and I'm not sure how it's still going.

Sansar was a better experience for me. Much smoother, things moved more realistically and hence it was more immersive, and the content is 'proper' I guess you could say. And there's a marketplace for it.

Yeah, for a first timer the experience sucks. Public lobbies are cesspools because of toxic people and anyone can join in with large polygon models which causes everyone to lag. Moderation is almost non-existent. VRChat is also very nsfw and not a place for kids.

I was lucky to have a friend connect me to moderated lobbies where everyone is verified to be 21+ and etiquette is enforced by moderators.
