People stupid enough to buy smart glasses from META, are probably also stupid enough to pay a monthly fee.
I think META should make an advertising subscription, where users pay extra to have advertisements shown at intervals too.
I bet a pretty decent percentage of users would pay for that.
And sadly, as we're constantly reminded of, people that have money to spend aren't intelligent in general. It's narcissim, sociopathy and hoarding mentality that is behind most people who have money, and those same things is what would make someone want to use tech like this.
I mean if they could Augmented Reality the billboards into, I don't know, enormous robotic hookers? I forget the name. I might reconsider.
