I've never seen Zuckerberg fill up a stadium the same way Messi, Ronaldo, Taylor Swift or Beyonce have...

#42> While our company has a special role in the lives of this generation, this is likely particularly important for how I show up because I am the most well-known person of my generation. They really are up their own asses so much in this thread. Just the arrogance of these people absolutely kills me.
Devils advocate here I’m not agreeing, but I’m hard pressed to find another person that is from the millennial generation that has been a persistent “public figure” as long and persistently than Zuck. He has been persistently in the news more or less daily since 2006. Can you name another millennial that has a wider and longer lasting notoriety? Does that mean that people respect him, or think of him as an ideal pers…

Prince William and Prince Harry have him beat on that front, surely? They've been persistent public figures since birth.
And if we limit it to modern times, Taylor Swift has got to be way more well known. Even my young kids know who Taylor Swift is. They have no clue about who Zuckerberg is.

Do you think that is genuinely the news in general, or just the subset of the news you personally follow?
I would imagine Swifties see a lot more Taylor Swift news than Zuckerberg news. For someone on HN, they're going to see a lot more Zuckerberg news than average.

#44No matter how hard I try I fail to see why would anyone mentally stable dislike Peter Thiel.

Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist. this should be disqualifying for life in the public sphere and somehow it is not.
It's always projection with those people.

#46Thanks for this. This helped me understand Zuckerberg’s recent change of style.
It is now clear that he made a repositioning, and not that was fruit of some psychological breakthrough or something like that.
At the same time it’s scary to think about to what extent that men can go for business and also, given his pathetic behavior at the White House dinner, who is actually controlling that man.

r/Millennials has a relevant list of Millennial celebrities. https://www.reddit.com/r/Millennials/comments/1g1gw7v/famous... Zuckerberg thinks he’s more well-known than Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, Scarlett Johansson, Adele, Lady Gaga, Cristiano Ronaldo, Beyoncé…
I mean, he is *as* well known as those people. You think more people know who Ed Sheeran than Zuckerberg?

I don't think this particular Satan needs or deserves an advocate.

#49** maybe edit of un-shame: ... is it? * edit of shame: it's satire. Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug. > there is a certain sense in which Mark Zuckerberg has been cast as 'the spokesman' for the Millennial generation — as the single person who gives voice to the hopes and fears and the unique experiences of this generation, at least in the USA That is an absolutely bananas read of Zuck's place in American cultur…
I’m browsing around on this site and don’t see any indication that this is satire. I think your initial reaction is correct.

100%. I think people are way more likely to know the name of one of their favorite artists versus the owner of an online platform, no matter what that platform is.
