    So if I’m understanding it correctly. They are seeing ads literally in front of them all the time? Like those glasses are playing ads constantly?

      No, but they’re getting ads on their other devices based on stuff they see that they happen to ask meta about, or upload videos of. There’s no HUD for it to serve ads to you on the glasses.

        Fair, that’s understandable. Though whole new level of tracking.

        There are marketing people watching this and thinking, “These are great ideas!”

      I think that would be the next step, once they get enough idiots to hook onto that shit. For now, I believe, the ads are only on the platforms to which they’ve already hooked everyone. But I’m also an optimist, huh xD
