firstly, just because you say so doesn't mean there is ZERO market for it.

secondly, of course there isn't significant demand for it yet it's a completely new technology and the use case is still being explored. people can't demand what doesn't exist.

Thirdly, show me exactly where companies are "coercing" us to create demand for AR. of course i realize there are extreme marketing campaigns that try unecessarily hard to push products like AI, but that is obviously not happening with AR.

Just stop mindlessly accepting and defending this behavior and stand up for yourself as a consumer.

finally, if you seriously can't comprehend any way at all that AR could be helpful then you are just as mindless as you are accusing me of being. stop being an arrogant asshole and consider that people can disagree with you without being "mindless".

you never did entertain a conversation, you're just insulting anyone who disagrees with you. when you are actually challenged on your bullshit you bail.
