I don't think people are against VR/AR, it's just that Horizon was so underwhelming given the hype.

Ideas like the metaverse tap into a lot of established sci-fi, pop-culture concepts which are generally very cool. I genuinely think that people really do want VR worlds to succeed - they do want their own virtual homes, customisable avatars, places to meet and game online in the metaverse, etc.

But instead they got some awkward, low-poly bobbleheads with a side helping of unnecessary crypto crap...

I’d have to disagree given all the adults who have bad opinions of AR / VR, yet ironically have yet to try anything modern; with their only experience being Google Cardboard from a decade ago. It’s easy to find these posts on HN and elsewhere online.
