Tech companies monetize attention through ads, pushing endless scrolling in VR and AR. The speaker argues they should instead sell high-value devices that actually benefit users, aligning incentives with what people need rather than ad impressions.
Don't monetize people's eyeballs. Just don't make it an ad platform. Because then you'll be incentivized to keep them on. Yeah, of course. Then you just become incentivized to have them dumb scrolling in VR or in AR all day long. That's the first thing. Don't be incentivized to do that. Instead, be incentivized to sell them a device that might be more expensive, but that really brings them something, you know, something they can gain from that device. I think it's all about setting those incentives right.
