I tried the new Ray-Ban Metas a few weeks ago and couldn't think of anything I'd want to own less.

However, when I look at the figures and news articles, it seems like they are selling. 7 million pairs last year and a paused roll out as Meta couldn't make them quickly enough.

Clearly the market and I disagree, and the market is a lot bigger than me.

Although I do wonder how much is hype, and how many sales are from "content creators" who are buying them for functional reasons.

Help me out... if you own a pair, what do you use them for?

If you bought them and stopped using them, why did you stop?

Of if like me, you're unlikely to buy any, why is that?
