         | VRChat is way too much of the wild west for Meta to want to
         | purchase it. Some of the avatars and worlds remind me of the
         | old school internet. Meta would never touch it unless it was
         | cleaned up heavily, which would destroy VRChat because the only
         | thing it has going for it is it's open nature.

       | nothing about the VR experience differences

       | Being more easily disassembled does not equate to one product's
       | tech blowing a competitors out of the water.

         | The website posting this is ifixit. They have a DIY repair
         | focus, so I don't think it's overly clickbaity. It's assumed
         | that that's the context by which they are saying the product is
         | superior.

       | Funny (if I agreed with the author) because Oculus' was developed
       | at Valve in the first place and they got it for free. Oculus's
       | demo for Z was actually at Valve.
