Yeah, it's VRChat. Basically VRChat has a system that automatically classifies your avatar into a "performance ranking" based on a few statistics, so that people can automatically show or hide certain avatars based on how performant they are. This is necessary even with high-tier hardware. 

This announcement is that VRAM usage statistics, which were previously not accounted for and were widely complained about, are now incorporated into the performance rankings. So certain types of massive-sized texture usage is now penalized, per say.
