I think you are right, and your "bet" about Zuckerberg checks out, at least according to media reports about his family. Still, asking someone to draw an inference based on three pieces of evidence, of which two are a bet and an assumption, seems hasty.

For a random individual plucked out of general population, you would be correct. Three is hardly anything. However, for individuals that effectively determine what actual average is to a population ( by shaping tech that shapes said population at the very least ), it does not seem hasty. It may be a proxy, but it is not hasty.

It seems wise to be wary of a salesman who won’t let his family use the product they sell. This seems very common in the modern tech industry.

If I were a billionaire I'd have servants who would use social media for my servants, to be fair.

Why have social media when you can have Jeeves "do it" for you?

Unless you’re a public figure who is posting as part of your “brand”… why use it at all at that point?
