Re:Ask HN: Has anyone been using VR to socialize lately? by chubot on Sunday April 26, 2020 @06:20PM (#22990783)
I tried VR a few years ago and thought it was interesting, but not compelling enough to buy.

My new year's 2020 prediction for the next decade is related:

VIDEO becomes what people thought VR/AR would be. Reality becomes mediated through video, not 3D graphics

I don't know what's going on in Second Life now but to me it feels like it's probably not "real life". I guess people want "life" and not "second life", and video is becoming an increasingly large aspect of the former.

FWIW I did take some action on this and invest in a company doing video at the beginning of the year... probably could have been more aggressive though.
