There's two ways to look at "works for me" posts.

That's great. But it does not help me.

Here's the thing, my post history is fairly mixed with respect to VR HMD tribalism. I've critiqued Oculus where I thought they've deserved it. I tend to call a spade a spade.
I just can't get worked up about the Oculus Home changes getting in the way of Revive. At a high level it basically comes down to Palmer stating an open hacker mentality regarding Oculus Home access prior to either HMD being released, followed by Oculus proper publicly telling people that third party workarounds would most likely break in the future when the Revive project was first introduced. You can cherry pick quotes as you like, but Oculus' public corporate stance toward Revive was quite clearly that it was considered a hack, was not supported and should not be relied upon.
The reaction to Revive being broken as a result of an update from some is simply that it was expected and that they're sad to see the fragmentation of the VR market. I not only respect this point of view, but agree with it partially. I tend to be less sad about the fragmentation of the VR market because I believe there are obvious underlying and conflicting corporate interests at play from both Oculus and Valve, and I don't particularly think one company or the other is the clearly superior moral actor here. It will eventually work itself out.
The reaction from others is more akin to condemnation of Oculus for 'blocking Vive' from accessing Oculus Home, and vociferously hoping for the company's failure (typically conveyed through expletives). I tend not to respect this point of view, and consider these folks little better the petulant children. Their collective sense of entitlement to free applications on Oculus Home and disregard for the explicit warnings Oculus had given regarding Revive reveals a lack personal responsibility.
As for which category you personally fit into, I prefer to let people self-bin through their own actions.

[OFF-TOPIC] How do you turn off notifications for a particular thread, e.g. this one. I'd like to continue receiving email updates for threads that I have participated in, but not this one. Is that possible, or will I have to turn off all notifications for threads I've participated in?
