i wonder if how many people actually spoke up and said 'um i don't think many people actually want to use this product' or did they just think it was easier kept their head down, collect their paycheck and go home.
Let's not forget the infamous demo of the Metaverse where Zuck's avatar was jumping and another avatar, a female one, was trying to do high-kicks on high-heels... And it turned out the vid was fake because they hadn't figured out how to do legs yet.
I mean: it was faked, using motion capture, and... it still sucked big times. That vid lives rent-free in my head.
It's a shame the metaverse had to become such a big thing with so much stupid money behind it. There's a kernel of a neat idea in there.

When I was dogfooding their Horizon/avatar products I would often provide this kind of feedback on surveys. I no longer work there anymore.
On a serious note testing VR stuff was only a minor side thing I occasionally did and unrelated to my main scope.
There were folks there who seemed to be gaslighting themselves that VR was "amazing". I also no longer work there anymore.
Anyone want a slightly used Quest Pro for cheap? :)
