OTOH, give it time. Open alternatives exist for every private walled garden. I believe the decentralization/federalization and FLOSS movements have a real chance, even if they move at 0.05 velocity. Private platforms are subject to closure, but the light of an open source project will shine as long as there's someone spending time on it. In due time we'll have networks of small providers catering for BYOC hosting. Cryptocurrencies can play a part in efficient and fair compensation. But then again, maybe by the time we catch up to current date, everything happens in walled VR moats. Maybe I'll be the oddball in the metaphorical cabin in the woods, but given the progress we're making so far I'll refuse to enter a closed VR/AR ecosystem.
