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

All he's been responsible for is making it worse

Who gives a shit about who invented what?

Social network wasn't even novel at the inception of FB. MySpace, Friendster, and Hi5 were already popular with millions of users.

Zuck operated it well and was able to grow it from 0 to what it is today. That is what matters.

It didn't even start as a social network - it started off as a site to vote on the hotness of female Harvard students based on stolen photos.

It just so happened that he does appear to have some leadership and business talent, but IMO the company is still as creepy as it ever was.
