Its not the medium, its you. The author gets many things right, such as the change in perception of distances. I get this from VR, but I also get it from changing from glasses to contact lenses (and vice versa). Doesn't sound like complete click-bait to me. I do think it's an interesting point that the escapism VR offers is possibly equivalent to some dissociatives, and that it hasn't really being considered. Some people struggle with addiction to (plain) video games. Blaming the person isn't fair or helpful at all.
