Mark Zuckerberg King Of the Metaverse is a Sky Documentary:
Mark Zuckerberg , the c.eo of Meta, the company behind Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp and maybe more.
Mark Zuckerberg King not annointed
He appeared to be a nice, personable teenager, according to the film of him as a youth/student, etc. No different to any of the others.
He was a social ‘connector’ before Facebook. He did do a version of ‘Am I Hot? whilst at Harvard. All about bringing people together. The ‘ Mark Zuckerberg: King of social media was evolving’
Am I Hot was/is a version where a person puts up a picture of themselves to be judged as to whether they are attractive to their peers. Mark’s Harvard ‘ Am I Hot’ was deeper than that and exclusive to the college. It was not entirely based on looks, it also judged
In my old age I may be judgmental of such things, he was young, and young people do that kind of thing. B.T.W., I didn’t have the cajones to do such a test myself in case people would cast me as ugly.
Mark Zuckerberg King shows a devious side
From that Facebook was created with his friends at Harvard, it evolved and spread like wildfire across the campus. Zuckerberg realised he was onto something and left Harvard and headed to Silicon Valley to develop his product with huge financial backing from investors. There are questions as to whether Mark invented. Others believed that they helped create it.
A kingdom that can be exploited by devious types
You dont need me to tell you how big Facebook is and the influence it wields. The Cambridge Analytica scandal tells you all you need to know about the power it wields. The government needs to regulate Facebook. It is not under under the second trump presidency
Opinion
What did I think of Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook documentary?
It was exciting and well worth the view. I do think that Zuckerberg was/is either very free-speech or money-motivated. Maybe a visionary. Probably all 3. Also he probably dislikes paying tax, as was shown by the fact that he contributed for the Trump inauguration. He has been rewarded for his loyalty by a tax cut in the big beautiful bill.
With hindsight, Facebook should have been regulated. It is a free and easy way to allow ‘like-minded people to assemble, which can be dangerous if used by the wrong people. Terrorists, far right, far left, etc.
In the one hand. . . .
it can unite people with similar interests. But on the other hand, it did allow a hub for dodgy politicians to recruit. I do think that there is a place for politics on Facebook; just carefully modified, though. Since Donald Trump came to power you can get any old political bullshit on there and bots will nod their heads enthusiastically.
Should you watch it?
If you are interested in social media, go for it. You will love it.
Mark Zuckerberg King Of The Cage Fight has turned tech bro
Final note, since the second Trump presidency and after the documentary was made there has been a change. Mark has reinvented himself as a ‘tech bro’. A tech bro is someone who acts obnoxiously and has few social skills, yet acts as if they are ‘king of the hill’. An extreme example is Elon Musk. Though not as big as Elon including mine.
Examples of this are Mark doing bodybuilding. He has also appeared on Joe Rogan, a MAGA-friendly show, wearing a fur coat and a valuable necklace. On the show he joked about challenging Elon Musk to a cage fight. A far cry from the hoodie-wearing persona he used to be. He has also invited Dana White onto the board of his company. For those who don’t know, he is predident of the cage fighting brand UFC and is very close to President Trump.
Maybe Mark is better than his current ‘persona’
I like to think better of Mark than that, and hopefully, he will stop this nonsense when there is a different President than Donald. However, his days of ‘wimpy harmless Mark’ facade have gone. He cannot go completely back.
