Okay, but why would they? And who's going to consume?

If anyone can trivially create, every creation is meaningless. There is no billion-dollar business in abandoned Minecraft servers, so why would this suddenly change when you force people to put on an expensive VR headset to visit them?

Everyone has always been able to trivially create. We live in an attention economy, not a creativity economy. Meaning you can create crap (or ai slop) and people will consume it if you know how to get their attention.

Attention is what gets money. Creation is just fuel for attention. Quality is a part of the equation, but much less important than people generally believe.
