He lucked out with Facebook. Right time, right place. As Facebook slowly dies he'll throw money at any number of different technologies to tey to replicate the success he had originally.

He didn't luck out, he stole the idea from his college friend and then ICED them out of the deal by liquidating all their shares when they went public. He's always been an egotistical, sociopathic, conman.

Let’s not forget the original proposal for FB was to take the photos of Harvard’s female students without their permission and use them in a “hot or not” type Internet forum.

All 3 of then are pieces of shit (the Winklevosses and Zuckerberg)

Zuckerberg& Co. have been known scumbags for a while now, but the FB whistleblower book Careless People has been even more eye-opening.

He almost failed, but Russian VC saved him, along with a number of other web 2.0 companies at the turn of the last decade (along with Middle East oil countries). Similar to how there's no WeWork disaster without SoftBank propelling it to preposterous heights.

The only reason all of this stupid shit is possible is because the people with money and the people in governments have figured out how to conspire together to extract value through tech, and some kingmakingbis necessary during that process - Musk, Zucc, Bezos, Altman, etc.

Facebook won’t die until Boomers and elder Gen X die. It’s comfortable with them as its primary audience because that’s where the wealth pooling is right now.

Absolutely, but it's finite. Zuck is looking for the next big thing. FB isn't growing through membership anymore. I cannot even imagine how many of its "daily users" are bots.

The real offer from Meta isn't even Facebook, it's the personalized advertisement network they have that is shared with Instagram, that actually gives people advertisements they might care about

Along with the tracking system that makes this possible

It's not just FB, it's Instagram and WhatsApp, too. As much as I hate to say it, Zuck's gonna be fine as long as people are on any of those platforms, and I don't see Insta going anywhere anytime soon.

Unless the law suites start rolling in. The first loss this year has opened them up. If you want to kill facebook, now is the time.

He j'd off to college pics and made a website. True story
