Hey everyone,
Thank you for visiting VR Bites. Over the past few years, the platform has grown far beyond what I initially expected, and I’m genuinely grateful for everyone who has taken the time to read, watch, and engage with the content.
You may have noticed that updates have been less frequent lately. That’s largely because I’ve been taking a step back to rethink the direction of the site.
When I started VR Bites, virtual reality was still far from mainstream. Early hardware like the DK1 was often met with skepticism, and many people didn’t yet see the potential of VR. That uncertainty was exactly what motivated me to build something around it. VR Bites started as a way to share short, accessible content — quick reads, guides, and curated videos — built around the idea that people prefer concise, focused information.
The name itself reflects that approach: small, digestible “bites” of VR content.
Building the platform has been a learning process from day one. From working with PHP and managing a growing website to improving my English writing and editorial structure, every step came with new challenges. There were setbacks as well — including technical issues and even losing content — but the project kept moving forward.
As the site grew, it became clear that running everything solo wasn’t sustainable long-term. I’ve reached out to others over time, looking to build a team, but that hasn’t always worked out the way I had hoped. Meanwhile, the VR landscape itself has evolved, with larger platforms and teams entering the space.
Even so, VR Bites continued to grow. Increased traffic brought new technical challenges, including hosting limitations, which eventually led to migrating to a dedicated server — something I set up and managed myself. It’s been demanding, but also a valuable learning experience.
More recently, some of the creators whose videos were featured on VR Bites have started their own platforms. That shift, combined with the ongoing costs of maintaining the site, has made it necessary to rethink how VR Bites moves forward.
One direction I’m now exploring is creating original video content. I’ve started experimenting with video editing and production, and the goal is to build something that complements the site while making it more sustainable. At the same time, I’m still looking for people who share a passion for VR — whether that’s writing, creating videos, or simply exploring new experiences together.
For now, I’m taking a short step back to reset and define the next phase of VR Bites.
Thank you again for your support over the years. It genuinely means a lot.

Never let yourself feel inferior.
Setbacks, mistakes, and challenges are part of any journey. What matters is how you respond to them. Each obstacle is an opportunity to learn, improve, and move forward.
Focus on what makes you unique instead of comparing yourself to others. Growth doesn’t come from imitation, but from understanding your own strengths and building on them.
When you find something that drives you — whether it’s a passion, a skill, or a goal — pursue it with consistency. Progress may be gradual, but it adds up over time.
And when you do find that sense of fulfillment, share it. Positivity and enthusiasm are contagious, and they can have more impact than you might expect.
