I seriously hope enough people are still grounded enough in this reality to reject AR/VR bullshit besides as a fun playground like VRchat or what have you. Integrating either or both into daily life would be fucking godawful.

To me, VR is really cool. I wouldn't want to give it up. It functions as a game console with a different input/display device. I'm not too keen on the metaverse concept, and I don't use it for social stuff.

Agreed on that, but I don't want it to become like a smartphone where it almost becomes a necessary component of a majority of your waking life. I already take in enough digital content and am tracked by enough things as it is.
