I still believe that Mark truly wants to make the world a better and a better connected place.

However, as we can see with the centralized platforms of Facebook and the like, they aren't engineered for social interaction rather, they are created for monetization and data mining, the code isn't to improve quality of life but to improve bottom lines of shareholders.

But at some point money, and especially fiduciary duties and the subsequent organigram of the org, took the overhand. He himself may actually still suffer from “Chunnel vision” and may still be slightly naive in his thinking, as also shown in his public performances in recent times.

The CEO matters but as [not that many] know the day-to-day impact of other C-level and higher management members is much more influential on many things experienced.

Great post otherwise. Any platform with a social angle is only as good as we want to make it for ourselves. We can not expect a platform to carry and totally fulfill all our wishes or wants. Once everyone understands that, then we can actually constructively contribute to create the community we want to be or at least we want to dedicate time in/with.
