        You’re joking, but there are lots of people in VRChat that love spending a lot of time looking at their own avatar in front of in-game mirrors.

      Within the billionaire bubble there was a lot of hype. Outside of that, not so much.

      A new platform to colonize, gathering info on what people were looking at in the virtual world and selling that to advertising made their wallets go very erect.

        I think the biggest part was selling people fake clout for a nearly 100% profit margin. They were going to sell us virtual clothes and status in mass for our very real money. Not that this doesn’t already happen in gaming but it would have been expanded greatly
