Man I deleted my account because I didn’t want Musk involved in my newsfeed. I can’t imagine giving that fool direct access to my brain.

I wonder what it was like for all of the fools that ever bought an Oculus headset and might've been force fed anything Mark projected on that thing.

Well tbh Quests dont really bug you much about anything FB related. After you setup the account the only thing you deal with is the initial menu starts opened to the app store with suggestions based on what you already bought.

But that initial menu let's you also set quick access buttons for your favorite apps.

So it's only a single click to go from "put on headsst" to "open thing I want" usually.

It's not any different from steam starting you out in the store tbh, I can accept that level of advertising as it's pretty transparent and half the time it has something of interest for me anyways.

It's about as big of a deal as a gift shop at a museum.
