gollark: We appear to be moving a bit toward subscriptions now with patreon and such, in some contexts.
gollark: One probably unlikely but interesting (and thus explored lots in fiction) outcome is that they get used lots for *blocking* things, and eventually society fractures into mostly disconnected groups which can't see each other.
gollark: The article talks about preserving privacy and such, but this isn't what happened with phones and most people don't seem to care.

gollark: It's a shame all the attempts at AR glasses seem to go bankrupt, get bought out by a company which promptly kills it, or get stuck in high end business use forever.
