Meta sells VR as limitless, but the promise feels hollow. The speakers argue that endless possibilities without direction just becomes mindless scrolling, and people are tired of it.
If you listen to the way Meta and all those companies are talking about VR, one thing that they love to repeat is how limitless it is, how you'll be able to do anything in there. I think they don't realize how much that does not connect with people. If you just repeat to someone over and over, this is limitless, you know, it's not helping you understand it.
Yeah, because they're giving them just how it looks, but not the substance, what's within it.
Exactly. And I also think that making it limitless makes it seem vague, and I think people actually don't want limitless anymore. You're scared? Yeah, absolutely. I think people realize that the limitless feed is just making them dumb scroll Instagram for 5 hours. No one at the end of the week is like, oh, I'm proud, I spent 12 hours on Instagram this week.
