Change my mind, Facebook was never invented by Zuck's genius

All he's been responsible for is making it worse

Almost every company in Facebook's position in 2005 would have disappeared into irrelevance by now.

Somehow it's one of the most valuable businesses in the world instead.

I don't know him, but, if not him, who else would be responsible for that?

We were very confident by ca. 2008 that Facebook would still be around in 2025. It's no mystery, it's the network effects. They had started with a prestige demographic (Harvard), and secured a demographic you could trust to not move on to the next big thing in a hurry, yet which most people want contact with (your parents).
