Don't mind me, I'll just bump this thread, so people can find it.
Vrchat or similar social VR platforms may not last forever. It's very important to keep that into consideration when making an asset or model. Creating something that will last regardless of the platform is where you'll truly get your moneys worth and shows genuine care. Not unstable scripts that make it harder to edit and bricks it.
We preserve console games via emulators and still buy old Windows pc games. Digital preservation is more important as you're supposed to nurture it. We won't be able to share our experiences if everything breaks or become like a useless paperweight. Sure, it may not be possible to salvage very game or model.
Hypothetically, If a new social VR platforms comes out that replaces vrchat one day in a decades time. We all want to take our models and assets with us. Create as memories as you can and treasure the things you buy, trade and sell etc.
Creation is more fulfilling when you can take something with you almost anywhere (depending on if there are limitations with tech though of course).
Media & digital preservation is the string that helps people in the future understand the past where it can be appreciated as much as we did
