I'm still waiting for iFixit to take one of these things apart so that we can find out who makes the panels, I suspect that it's Xiaomi rather than Samsung which is a big part of why the Oculus Go is so cheap to buy. Xiaomi's phones are as cheap as chips to buy too.

Well as is always the case, people who don't have a problem with their hardware (of whatever kind) tend not to post about it. So it can be extremely misleading to read about problems without looking at the total number of sales, against the number of problem posts.
As for lack of advertising... well if the manufacturing pipeline is nearing it's capacity, Oculus may just be taking a view that they'll sell every unit they make whether there's a big advertising campaign or not.
I have a complete lack of respect for most of the advertising wanks at the best of times. The more I'm advertised at, the more I'm inclined to dislike a product.... I know it's irrational but there you go!
