I’m more than a touch aspy myself which makes this faux-biting rebuke that sounds cool in only my head a bit meta: but nerds figured out how to sell tech stuff to normies quite some time ago.

Of all the things to criticize Mark for, being bad at making money seems a weird one.

What has he successfully sold to consumers?
Their own lives
Advertising and alot of it.
Not being bad at making money, but selling something other than eyeballs is a vastly different proposition.
He’s certainly good at making money but consistently horrible at keeping nerds around.

I dunno? If you consider paying in privacy or mental health and getting webshit sun return to be "buying something", then Zuck is probably humanities most successful salesman...

Sure he has! He keeps them in rage-loops so he can show them ads and manipulate politics
