"The toxicity of his products is exceeded only by his gormless demeanour (let he who is without sin, cast the first stone). Yet, even those who consider him an enemy of humanity must admit that Zuckerberg possesses a talented grasp on the fundamentals of technology trends. Despite the clinical efficiency of his businesses in spreading misery, or perhaps proof of how well the product has been engineered underneath the hood - offerings like Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp, it is fair to acknowledge, are tightly-built products."
"By a lucky break, the strength of competition from Youtube and TikTok in predating on the mentally ill, Meta's failure to establish a social media monopol y (Lord knows they tried) has actually worked to their benefit. Now, Zuckerberg may retain his empire intact. In the light of this context, Zuckerberg's bet on VR seems like a rare bad bet. I am no fan of VR headsets and considered the giant investments made in this technology a kind of vain folly."
Mark Zuckerberg demonstrates a strong grasp of technology trends and produces tightly engineered platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Those platforms exhibit clinical efficiency in user engagement and have powerful developer support. Meta failed to secure a social media monopoly, yet competition from YouTube and TikTok paradoxically benefited Meta by preventing predation on its core user base and preserving its empire. Zuckerberg's major strategic bet on virtual reality appears risky given weak consumer enthusiasm for headsets. Large investments in Reality Labs through 2025 represent a substantial financial commitment that may not yield expected returns. Skepticism persists about VR's mass-market viability.
