I would rather just pay for stuff and be done with it rather than have my attention and sensorium sold to the highest bidder.

But this doesn't satisfy the advertising industry's greed.

That's a very anti-capitalist statement of you, do you even want others to get rich? Would you deny them their wealth? I am shook.

#6> Facebook added that Oculus users will be able to hide individual ads or choose not to see ads from a certain advertiser.
Very interesting. The Oculus is quite a good deal at 299 USD given its technical specifications. I suspected that they were selling them below cost and subsidising them through stuff like this.
The issue is that, as a data-driven organisation I am certain that they would have assessed the likely impact of including ads on turning away users and made that the decision.

Support the companies that offer this an encourage others to do the same - I worry about a future where VR is monopolized by Facebook and held there by network effect

#8> Facebook said it will use the test to explore ways to help developers earn revenue on the Oculus platform.
How about by just selling games? I hate this mealy-mouthed way of deflecting that it’s not about Facebook’s revenue, but about “helping developers.”

Personally, I don’t mind ads. I like buying things and like seeing things I don’t know about that I might want to buy.

But then it would be so pointless to require an FB account before you can use it at all. Wouldn't that be a pity.
