It's sort of like how YouTube ran at a loss for a long time. The idea is to get ingrained in the market and make up the money later.

Right now Meta has the best VR / AR that is easily accessible. If some new idea or technology catapults VR into a more popular position, then Meta is in a prime position to take advantage.

Will that happen? I don't know, but Meta seems to think so.

Too bad the company is absolute garbage. I'm not even willing to look at their 'products' anymore.

Particularly with articles like this around:

Yep. I will never use any VR product by Meta. Mark can go zuck himself.
