I run AdSense on a site that gets 300-500k page views p/m. Takes about £60-80 in ad revenue, but I only place one ad per page.


As someone who recently invested in their first AV receiver, surround sound setup, then navigating hacked drivers to get Dolby Atmos, DTS etc working properly on Windows, finding I can't use my Hue strips in Netflix etc because of DRM, realising Plex cannot serve HDR content, having to edit EDID data so my PC would allow 4k/120fps + VRR with my fiber optic cables... I realise that we're living in an unnecessarily complex DRM hell.


I see you say you can't get used to it on a Quest 2, so the natural progression would be to a higher pixel count headset like Pimax offerings or similar. But even then, who is to say you can get used to that after you're 1-2k invested? I don't think the jump to VR working is directly compatible with say, going from a single 19" 1080p monitor to a 2 x 32" 4k monitors in that sense. First you have to adjust to sitting with screens strapped to your face for 8-12 hours per day.

The biggest factor to me for long periods in VR is comfort, in which case I prefer using the Rift S because to me it's so ridiculously comfortable, even after trying many Quest 2 halo headbands.

Another option might be the Reverb G2 for fidelity but I can't speak for it's comfort!


I'm used to having the Quest 2 for long periods of time, it's purely the pixel bluriness when I see the monitors (for text). At best, each monitor in Immersed is a 1080p monitor. So 5 1080p monitors rival two 4K screens.


I saw people verifiably 5x catching the bottom, I have seen nothing of 500x at all.


Return to monke. That is the solution.


Google use licensing models for many of their products. I'm sure they could devise a model whereby a company such as Epic pay a fee per client download of their software. It could be negotiable. That way everyone wins, and customers get user friendly access to the content they want.


Not to mention that device makers pay licence fees to Google for the privelege to run the Play Store (and other closed source benefits).


No shortage of opportunities in IoT.


I don't know if you're right or wrong, but I do appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
