That’s the thing I think I’ll die never understanding. I really don’t see the point of being on your death bed with plenty of leftovers.
Some people have a really backwards understanding on the core philosophy of “being successful in life”. Like, he seems to lack the ability to grasp the literal meaning of that concept and so will always be doomed to fail at achieving anything with it. It just makes sense to understand he has a psychological deficit. I’d be empathetic if he weren’t such a catastrophic burden to everyone.
Exactly. How embarrassing to have your 140 ft yacht passed by your rivals 165ft yacht that neither of you could drive, repair, navigate, service, fuel, register, or even crew yourself.
I feel like it is in human nature. Its in most of us. But basically all of us encounter this only with video games. Like incremental games were the numbers most go up and it is deeply satisfying even though a lot of them have a deeply disturbing meta-subplot going on while you progress through absurd numbers. Had the same feeling with the ye old Sim City titles. At the start you might roleplay as a “good” virtual mayor but at some point you probably reach the point where you are going to plane entire neighborhoods to build high-rises with fake water-access to min-max your economy on the limited space you are given. The games are already abstract to begin with but with time the abstraction layer gets to the point where you try to game the given rules of the designer.
I’m no expert. But i feel like Zuckerberg managed to reach that point in real life. Basically unchecked by the rules of society he does whatever the fuck he wants to play a perverted meta-progression of life.
Facebook and shit don’t matter much, but whatsapp is the primary form of communication for a good chunk of the world.
Fun fact: in some places, whatsapp and Facebook (and a few other sites) isn’t even considered to be “internet”. Like, if you don’t pay an ISP you still get access to those. Then paying for “internet” gives you access to everything else.
Advertising is still the vast majority of their revenue, and as far as I can tell with a few quick Google searches a significant portion of that still comes from Facebook.
I’d be keenly interested in seeing actual numbers if you can locate them, because they don’t appear easy to come by, but I seriously a doubt your assertion that their core product’s add revenue doesn’t matter to their bottom line.
He’s eager for anything to help him gain more wealth, because he doesn’t have enough yet and enough is never enough.

Probably just a dick measuring contest among themselves. It’s pathetic.

Eager or desperate? They rebranded their entire company around a clusterfuck vr second life. Are they actually producing enough to stay relevant?
Facebook has been trending downhill for a long time. Threads I barely hear about. I don’t hear as much about Oculus as I used to.
