The best comment on this I've seen...

It turns out, to the horror of techbros like Zuck, that the actual core demographics for VR worlds are not edgy cyberpunk antiheroes whose coolness could rub off on them, but femboy otaku who want to go drinking with friends while dressed as fabulous anime girls without even having leave their home and trans furries who want to party at visually spectacular virtual raves then pirate movies and have virtual cuddle piles.

Which... isn't very monetizable for normies.

...yet. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

this is happening on VRChat, not meta horizon worlds

Because meta wasn't good for it, hence why it wasn't popular at all.
