I think PT/AR is more than a fad and is the future. The only thing holding PT back is people not yet getting a Quest 3. I have a suspicion that most PT haters have not tried PT yet. Once more Q3s go off the shelves, PT viewership and demand will only increase. The numbers are already pretty high considering now new the Q3 is.
I wasn't interested in PT before I got my Q3, now its all I look for -not AI passthrough but high quality alpha PT.
Also, I would be interested on metrics for people that use scripts had have sex toys.
