Speaking personally, Reels are just annoying (not that I admire TikTok either, aligned as it probably is with the CCP)
Snapchat features are blood money, they also result in less people using Snapchat
Nobody says Zuck doesn't earn a lot of money but a lot of it is likely fraudulent and he's just not a very good person
Last phrase is understatement of the century.
He's a POS, that's also why POSSE is good. ;)
Last phrase highlights what investors care about. I personally hate reels and tiktok -- they should've stopped at stories.
To me it just validates the history of Facebook
Did he/didn't he steal? Dunno, though there's a fair few bits of evidence in the various lawsuits (Winklevoss, Greenspan)
But if you didn't know about any of that you could make some inferences. Like his neverending "ooh, shiny new thing, want" (and then lie to people along the way, trick Indians into signing up for your internet.org thing)
I was willing to take his side on a few things because the political situation is genuinely unclear and the public has been misled but then right after he wrote the open letter to Jim Jordan about censorship coercion (which was a real problem, I want to see more tech companies talking about it) he does this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42651178
It's kind of like he has raw bits of intelligence but doesn't quite know how to piece it together and besides "his" inventions (even FB) are put together (largely?!) by other people

I meant last phrase, not last sentence, which is what you seem to have understood, going by your reply.
This is what I was referring to in my earlier comment: "he's just not a very good person".
