Or it's a nice way of saying he's a micromanager.
For real, it almost read like a thinly veiled burn on Mark to me. Like, "give me some space Mark, you don't need to be up in my business constantly".
I increasingly believe that Facebook’s pivot to Meta will end up going down as one of the biggest misses in the history of business. The metaverse is a real idea yes - but strapping a phone to your face and walking through your coffee table isn’t it. Especially not with a mediocre centralized FB owned “virtual world” where they inflict heavy taxes and content moderation. Facebook has neglected its core businesses for…

I don't know anyone under 50 who actively uses Facebook.
That's in your local bubble. In some countries Facebook is no. 1 and on same level or even more important as Google Maps for businesses. Wished it was not the case though.
It seems like the article link requires a FB account. Can anyone paste the contents or share a link that doesn't require a facebook account?
It does not require a FB account. You can see it from an incognito window just fine.

With that being said, anecdotally, in younger (American) circles, facebook.com isn't used much as a social media/content sharing platform. However, other facebook (meta) products like messenger, and instagram are still used a ton, not to mention facebook.com "subproducts" like marketplace, or using facebook pages to act as a landing page for a business. Just because younger people don't use facebook.com doesn't mean they have little relevance within that subgroup.
This isn't even including the huge influence of whatsapp, granted it still(?) doesn't generate any revenue. Facebook developer products like react or pytorch also have a very strong foothold among young developers.
"Sitting by Mark’s side for these 14 years has been the honor and privilege of a lifetime. [...] In the critical moments of my life, in the highest highs and in the depths of true lows, I have never had to turn to Mark, because he was already there." If this is an accurate reflection of her experience, I don't expect it's a side of Mark Zuckerberg most of us imagine exists.

Not necessarily a bad thing. The world is aging and old people have all the money
Absolutely a bad thing. Young folks have less money, but are more impulsive with spending. The 18-44 crowd is an extremely coveted market segment.
That's pretty surprising. I know that there has been tons of controversy swirling around the company the past few years, but things have seemed relatively quiet lately, other than their recent bad revenue growth. Do people here think this is a shakeup at the company or that she legitimately wanted to do something else?
Is it really? I don’t think it is. Pre-Trump era she was more the public face of Facebook than even Zuck. Then when the Cambridge Analytica scandal basically did a 180 on the entire reputation of the company she effectively disappeared from the public eye.
