Other than the original few years of Facebook has Zuck actually succeeded at anything new? Metaverse was a failure. Instagram and WhatsApp were both bought and Instagram's biggest feature is a straight rip from Snapchat. Occulus was bought. Facebook itself is completely dead among all my peers and even the local business stuff I used to do on it is dead now too. It feels like he just falls from one mistake into another but gets away with it due to the company being a behemoth + his unique control of the company keeping him unaccountable.

Sure, other than being the dominate social media platform for the original few years (2 decades) he is a total failure I guess

In Taiwan, Facebook seams like it's part of the Government and it seems that near all the small biz use it to communicate and advertize. Reminds me of the AOL days when people thought that was the Internet.

Zuck became one of the richest and most powerful people in the world by saying "what if Myspace but we make it elite and exclusive and no custom html"

It feels like the only thing it's really big in now in the states for is facebook marketplace, which is just a slightly higher trust (but still scam and flake prone) version of craigslist using the existing user base. Feels like all his big swings have been strikes

Success from your perspective, or the market's? The market seems generally pleased that he's taken more than a quarter of global ads, and dominates in social media advertisement.

By practically any measure all of the things you've listed have been wildly successful.
