This would be cool – the problem, 99.999% (source: I made it up) of people just know to open the camera app to scan a QR code. So if this is displayed publicly, nobody would know how to scan it without going to another website anyway, which I feel defeats the purpose. Very interesting implementation though!
I don't think it's that... I've tried many VR apps and games (as far back as 7 years ago!) and it's just not for me. Don't get me wrong, it can be fun and engaging, but not a game-changer. And that's fine, people are allowed to enjoy what they want to enjoy, and vice versa. There's a reason people have personal preferences.
I don't get your point -- you're allowed to not like an invasive company and you're allowed to refuse to use their products if you don't like what they're doing. I don't think anyone in this conversation is making it their personality.
I don't think it's a particularly sad hill to die on – Meta has proven themselves to be exploitative, invasive, and downright malicious time and time again.
