What's the incentive to keep using the headset in your dystopia? if Meta sold the product you're describing, why would anyone buy it? Are you imagining a world with government mandated AR goggles? Why wouldn't I just take them off?


I think real world ad blocking is one of the least imaginative scenarios of the future.

Where we're going, you'd kill for a world where you just had ads on billboards and screens that you only saw when you were looking at them.

Just imagine the real problems we're going to deal with in a few decades with next-gen always-on AR that doesn't require a bulky headset anymore.


What's the incentive to keep using any Meta product, yet people continue to do it regardless of the proven harm that their products do?


Same one that keeps my google pixel 5 in my pocket in spite of getting spammy ad notifications a few times a day.
