It’s a natural fit since the Quest’s Horizon OS is built on Android, but most Android developers have never accepted Meta’s generous incentives to port. The result is that Quest users mainly use their headsets for bespoke VR games rather than as “the next computing platform,” as Zuckerberg and co originally…

On February 10th, 2026,…
Reddit is piloting a new AI-powered shopping experience that transforms its famously trusted community recommendations into shoppable product carousels — a move that could reshape how the platform monetizes its search traffic. What’s happening. A small group of U.S.-based users are seeing interactive product carousels appear in search results when their queries signal purchase intent — think “best noise-canceling headphones” or “top budget laptops.” The carousels sit at the bottom of search results and include pricing, images and direct retailer links. Products are surfaced from items actually mentioned in Reddit posts and comments — not just ad inventory. For consumer…
