VR is a shining example of how westerners must waste their money on bullcrap instead of helping those who have less.
There will never be a point where the disparity in wealth shrinks because as soon as consumers have more, they spend more.

It depends to me. AR has some real value use cases in the trades imho. Assuming they can be OSHA certed and not a pain in the dick to wear while doing real work in unconditioned conditions.
Otherswise its just more screen realestate and “novel” data presentation. Both have value too, doing real work.
There is value in novel forms of expression too that avatars and creating 3d art too.
But yeah, advertising works and people dont just get what they need to create but get to consume. I cant find clit all in the first field in the consumer space, even the profesional space is pretty niche.
The latter has some but its really enthusists just making face game consoles work.
The last one though, that has some serious momentum, and for some good reason. Its not capital intesive, not compared to the first, and less niche then the second (cause lets be honest how much do most people need more screen or novel data presentation).
