> Metaverse was reality labs which was largely [r/d](r/d) into vr and ar. Not a loss at all. It has to be used to make a successful product to not be a loss.

Many 'sure thing' technologies never became a thing. Generally, if something has a future, people are excited about it even when it's shit, it doesn't need to be good enough for people to use it. They watched hours of TV every night when it was a tiny black and white screen in the corner of the room, they carried around giant Nokia bricks that could barely send a text and were expensive to use, even normies would spend hours every evening in AOL over 56k, waiting minutes to download a single grainy picture. VR/AR have been around for years and no-one cares, no matter how much better the technology gets. Even Apple couldn't get people to give a shit about the Vision Pro.

He made one of the most successful products in the world lol? And you’re thinking of horizon world. They spent a couple million on that game. Metaverse was reality labs which was largely [r/d](r/d) into vr and ar. Not a loss at all. The 80 bil loss on a video game shit is a meme.

TL;DR: SNAP stock has been a flaming bag of shit for years, but their new 2026 Specs AR glasse are the hardware that finally unleashes the one force stronger than anything in tech: human horniness. AR pornstars in your bedroom, interactive, AI-driven, synced toys — this isn't some sci-fi cope, it's the next logical step after VHS, broadband, and mobile porn. If even a fraction of coomers cop these things, SNAP becomes a multi-bagger. First mover on the ultimate killer app. YOLO your rent into 2027 LEAPs, or stay poor watching vanilla on a screen like a normie. The Porn Thesis (History Doesn't Lie, Bros) Porn has been the silent MVP of tech adoption forever. Mid-90s home computers? Porn. Fast internet in the 2000s? Porn. Smartphones? You already know. Now we're at the AR glasses arc. Snap's dropping real consumer Specs this fall 2026 — lightweight, immersive, standalone AR that overlays shit directly in your world. Not lame phone AR. Full spatial computing. The Killer Feature Nobody's Saying Out Loud Forget filters and Bitmojis. The real bag is AR interactive porn models. - Volumetric capture a bunch of top pornstars (studios already experimenting with this tech). - Generative AI makes them reactive — they respond to your movements, surroundings, and the action. - You're not cucked watching some dude on Pornhub anymore. She's in your bedroom, bouncing on you, whatever position. Full presence. Add Bluetooth toys that sync with the motion and you've got a hardware + subscription + content ecosystem that prints money while you're... occupied. Weebs get their anime waifus. Women get the AR Chad. Everyone wins in the most degenerate way possible. This isn't niche — it's humanity's oldest hobby scaled to new hardware. Why SNAP Specifically? - They've been grinding on Spectacles for years. 2026 is the consumer launch window with real field-of-view and immersion. - Snapchat already has massive young user base + camera/AR expertise. They can build the platform, app store, and content partnerships. - Monetization stack: Sell the expensive glasses (~$2k range), recurring subs for premium models/content, in-app purchases, developer cuts, synced accessory ecosystem. It's an entire horny economy. - If they execute, this becomes the default AR platform before Apple or Meta fully wake up. Network effects go nuclear. The rest of the business (ads, DAUs) is the boring foundation, but this is the rocket fuel. Risks (Paper Hands, Don't Say I Didn't Warn You) - Pricey as fuck glasses at launch — only true degens and early adopters buy in. - Regulatory cockblocks (kids + adult content drama is already a thing on Snap). - Competition from Meta, Apple, whoever else. - Execution risk — Snap management has a history of hyping then disappointing. - Moral panic / app store bans could slow rollout. - Macro ad spending still matters for the core biz. This could 10x or it could be another hype cycle that dumps. Classic WSB lottery ticket. Position: Long shares if you're a boomer. LEAP calls or Jan 2027/2028 options if you're a real autist. I'm not a financial advisor — this is just a horny TED Talk from the internet. Do your own research, don't @ me when your portfolio gets pegged. Mods don't ban me, I'm just connecting dots that have been obvious since 2020. Diamond hands on the future of cooming. Who's in? 🚀🍆

I think we're just saying different things and that's OK. You are saying the tech is overhyped and isn't coming in the near future, and I'm in full agreement. But then if you'll allow me to add more nuance to your earlier statement, how would this read? >Yes I'm saying AR won't be a thing [in X years]. >It will not. What's your largest value for X in that sentence that you feel comfortable arguing? 10 years? 30 years? 100 years? I think that answer is worth thinking about, and it might be where we disagree. >but I just don’t think it’s gonna become integrated the way phones are...Everyone has a phone because you can put it in your pocket when not using it. True, but I think we also all intuitively understand that phones are crappy. People sit on their couch and stare at a tiny screen for hours and they feel like shit. AND smartphones have hit the world in an incredibly short amount of time (since around 2010 or so?), so I won't be at all surprised when they are replaced by a better technology. I'm not an AR stan, this is essentially the only comment you'll find of mine supporting it, if anything my comment history is full of complaints and skepticism over VR 5-10 years ago. >You are in that group. AR will not be a thing. Anway if you want to paint me with a wide paint-brush I won't stop you. But I do think there's more to this whole topic than you let on.

Yes I'm saying AR won't be a thing. It will not. People are way too gullible when it comes to "this is the future, the tech just isn't there yet. This is the worst they'll ever be!" You are in that group. AR will not be a thing. Crazy that I have to say that in 2026, nearly 40 years after it was the "next big thing"

---

They're saying AR will for sure become a thing, not necessarily these glasses in particular. And it seems likely to me as well, because most people foolishly want easy and constant access to their social medias. And simultaneously tech CEOs want you hard-wired to their soul-sucking technology so they can feed you ads all day every day.

---

I mean there's a big difference between Vision Pro and AR glasses like these. The problem is that they're just ugly as fuck, which makes you wonder who the hell focused group these and said "yeah those look good"

---

If the tech gets good enough I could see it working for anything with computers. No more monitors if you don’t want them, can game or work with just the AR system. Like what they wanted the Apple vision to be, but just a future version that’s way less clunky.
