The same could be said about Jack Dorsey, but I'd wager most people would take him back in a heartbeat. Let's wait for the competitor's headsets to launch before we start demanding that heads roll.
- slac 4y agoBut will the competitors allow for third party worlds connecting to their headset... This will be a walled garden.
- hsjqllzlfkf 4y agoWhat concerns me about society is that anyone would want to be in these gardens, walled or not.
- jjoonathan 4y agoYeah, what kinda NERD would spend time "socializing" on a computer?
- dustymcp 4y agosome people have given up on reality maybe mark is one of them?
- smoldesu 4y agoSounds kinda anticompetitive to me. Guess we'll see who wants to play ball, though!
- jemmyw 4y agoFacebook makes a lot of money. Twitter doesn't. Jack Dorsey seems just as bad, maybe worse, his politicking and backstabbing had surely hurt Twitter a lot more than his management ever bore fruit?
- BaseballPhysics 4y ago> The same could be said about Jack Dorsey The same should be said of Dorsey. And Musk. And also Pichai, while we're at it. What's your point?
- smoldesu 4y agoGood leadership is relative, anything that isn't Ballmer is counted as a blessing by shareholders.
- BaseballPhysics 4y agoYou mean a CEO hated for having no good ideas, allowing the company to rest on its laurels, missing major industry transformations, and leading from behind? That totally doesn't sound familiar...
- smoldesu 4y agoThat's pretty much the shareholder sentiment for every FAANG company today. Even Tim Cook's legacy is boiling down to a watch, some healthwashing/greenwashing initiatives and services with ads. Google and Microsoft are now more known for their cloud services. Facebook wants to about-face into VR. It's a boring world out there, the enthusiasts and analysts don't do it justice. I don't like any of these companies, but I do award bonus points for novelty. The Quest lineup is undeniably novel.
- Nevermark 4y agoI am no expert on Jack Dorsey, but have been continually impressed by his ability to answer sensible relevant questions, without actually saying anything. And without giving away anything to hang follow up questions on. He has mastered the passive equivalent of repeating "Nothing to see here", in ASMR voice, over and over.
