>the only reason VRchat got popular wasn't 'because people could interact with each other' but because people could virtually shitpost ad-infinitum without any fear of any kind of repercussion, VRchat is to VR what 4chan(and 'anonymous culture') is to the internet
So it sounds to me like you're implying here that all Horizon does or is meant to do is "let people interact with each other", which, considering the features, are hardly scratching the surface of what it could let people do. So that's partly why I'm skeptical of your assertions. 

As for VRChat being a 4chan equivalent, sure, it was great random meme fun that was able to be successful especially with Twitch. Horizon is targeting a different audience and ultimately should grow into or be replaced by an application that's more like Internet Explorer where it's the container and tool used to access the entire metaverse that no one actually controls. Facebook's world might be the default home page like Google is for Chrome, but they don't get the say on what users want to do after that, because otherwise, they simply would use other apps by that time that do allow the essential functionality of a generic metaverse "browser" that we expect to be there. Facebook is not and will not be the only competitor. 

So we have to look at this whole thing in the long term, not just the short term which won't be as exciting but could still be valuable for some people in a different way than other apps like VRChat have been so far.
