Strange. I think Facebook is bad because they've turned a decent, useful product into a cash-generation machine... to the detriment of the original product. So much so that many have decided that it's not worth dealing with the cash-generating cancer to access the compromised functionality of the core product.
Zuck is in a unique position where he has full control over Facebook. He could declare today that Facebook doesn't need to generate this much profit, add an option for a chronological news feed, and turn down the ads to "KTLO" level from the current "fund the metaverse, maximum profit" levels.
I loathe Zuck because he refuses to do anything like this, despite the obvious social ills of Facebook. Maybe corporate yesmen have something to do with his choice, but it seems more likely to me that Zuck has decided to keep Facebook a cancerous mess all on his own.
