    For someone as apparently intelligent as Mark, it’s amazing how stupid he is.

    It doesn’t matter what you do or say, Mark, I will never buy something produced by or associated with Meta. Don’t care how groundbreaking or revolutionary it might be.

    I see you, Mark. I’ve watched how you operate for the last 20 years, Mark. I’ll never give you a cent.

        I feel you, and part of the reason we don’t have access to cheaper and better options is because of Meta’s monopolistic instinct. They bought oculus, which had been actively innovating, instead of competing with them and strengthening the market by developing their own product. It’s not like they didn’t have the money.

        I don’t fault anyone for buying their stuff if it’s cool, my stand is purely a stubborn one at this point. I just won’t touch Meta with a ten foot pole.

      a lot of people dont have the same hate for mark that you have, and a lot of people dont even know that meta is facebook. He’s not a good person, but he’s not stupid

        You can be extremely intelligent and still fucking dumb as rocks. Intelligence in one area doesn’t necessarily equate to intelligence in other areas.

        He’s not a good person, but he’s not stupid

        Citation needed on that one.

        He’s done a mind-numbly large amount of brainless things. That money is in selling VR headsets and yet they haven’t done anything to make VR content interesting to the general populace.
