Yeah, I think this means there is such little value remains in VR once they rule out all anime porn content. Apple is doing the same, only they reached self inflicted obsolescence much faster.

And it makes me wonder if that's where the WWW is headed or how Dead Internet actually happened; a porn purge leading to reversion of media into progressively older forms. Perhaps we'd be scrolling books on a TV by 2050s.

I find a good metric for whether a technology cannot be widely adopted is, "do you prevent furries from using it?"

VRChat: Furries OK!

Meta: Nope

My point is, we might be seeing increasingly more of these "media reversion" going forward. VR used as TVs, TVs used as photo frames, photo frames used as text boxes, and so on, rather than newer technologies superseding old media.

So VRChat follows is the same bucket as internet forums, irc, twitter, discord, telegram, and blue sky. Sounds pretty promising for them really.

While meta follows in the direction of uhh... AOL and.. Miiverse? Not so promising.
