Summarization
A leaker contacted Bradley with a prepared information package, and Bradley tried to clarify the situation, arguing investigative journalism and reporting is not a crime. His content was more interesting than the VR industry in 2021-22 and he still hopes to keep digging. Discussion turned to the human cost of Meta, with discussion of workers and information-leaking ethics. Bigscreen unveiled a new PC-powered headset and the tweeters discussed Apple's new product and how products tend to be subscription based. The thread ended on discussing the ethics of information-leaking.
