Don't see how this makes sense for VR, where you probably want to hang out with your friends and play games. Followers?

On the contrary! VR takes "following" to the next level. An abstraction that suddenly becomes much more concrete and literal. It is beautiful.

At last it becomes truly creepy and not just vaguely concerning.

You don't need to be in the street to be followed anymore, you can now stay at home for this.

(please don't take my comment seriously, I just wanted to share a though that was very entertaining to me)

Jesus...

Actually now I can imagine the VR version of Twitch. A bit creepier I think.
