I suspect something more complicated. Zuckerberg doesn't want to loose users so they give users what they want. Any social networks has to compite against other social networks so they go for users engagement and profit first.
Some people don't like institutions that will enlarge racial inequality gaps.

I detected videos of Siraj Raval to learn deep learning. That make me doubt of the teaching quality of the site.
In your chambers you learn the arguments to defend your ideas and fight the others. Tribalism.

Quantum numbers have a very nice property: they allow express sum of angles as multiplication. So anything periodic can take advantage of this property. Even if it's not periodic if you can take advantage of Fourier Transformation you can use complex numbers.

We don't need slavery today because we have machines. But in the past if an empire didn't practice slavery implied that other empires will conquer you and slave you. So slavery was required for survival. It's today that this debate is clear. In ancient times, the reverse was true.
