Has he picked a single winner since he stole the idea for facebook?

[–] Maldaya@sh.itjust.works 40 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

Probably only when he bought out Instagram and Whatsapp, that's all I can think of

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 16 points 12 hours ago

He bought 100 lottery tickets through acquisition (probably more) and 2 of them hit.

Those were already popular before he bought them, and then he made them worse.

...but no less popular

I feel like Oculus improved under them, but yeah - an exception proves the rule.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

I don't know if "improved" is as accurate as "accelerated" in that case. Oculus was already doing cool stuff they just needed the resources to really get going, and now Meta is all up in it so the service kinda blows.

And Oculus

He's working hard on destroying that one, don't worry. The quest experience has only gotten worse with every update.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Two other things I don't use.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I thought he actually stole the source code, not just the idea.
