Yea, the major problem with this take by the OP author is it assumes that a cynical attitude and some questionable analogies means there is nothing new left to invent in how we use the internet.
This seems extremely dubious to me and also shows a severe lack of humility. There are many very smart people at these companies and Mark Zuckerberg has consistently shown himself to be a canny and innovative founder (even if you dislike him for whatever reason).
It may end up being BS but dismissing it out of hand seems extremely foolish.

There is good reason to be skeptical given the long list of failures and Zuck hasn't shown why his take would be different yet - to my knowledge. In the words of Morpheus from the Matrix, "Show me."
- bombcar 5y agoJohn Carmack has shown himself capable of repeatedly making good video games, and even when not the greatest still technologically amazing. Mark has shown that he successfully didn’t destroy a MySpace clone that prints money. Other than that what has he done besides buy already large companies?
- Jasper_ 5y agoHave you heard of Facebook Gaming? It's a streaming platform, like Twitch. Launched in 2007. Nobody uses it. Did you buy an HTC First, the infamous "Facebook Phone" that was so universally panned, they couldn't even ship out their first production run of phones, despite it being one of the cheapest on the market? When's the last time you used a Portal? Facebook has just as many stinkers, despite many smart people working the company.
