> Upcoming generations see Youtubers as their idols. It sounds stupid on the surface, but the ability to play a perfect game of Pacman wouldn't be the worst thing to bet on if you wanted to take over some big media company. Even if you don't have a tech billionaire stacking the deck.
Except talented players are not the most popular youtubers. The best pac-man player in the world is famously unpleasant.
> Like finding startup ideas, I don't think the killer VR app is going to come about from someone looking for killer VR apps. It's going to start as something silly done by the people messing around with VR today.
This is true. Most VR feels gimmicky to me now, but the best VR experience I've seen was 3d video with extremely well-calibrated audio. For some reason, that was the big difference for me, but I doubt anyone would have predicted that to be the case.
