Zuckbook: Getting Tagged As a Digital King Lear

June 13, 2022

The Zuckbook (now officially known as Meta as in I never “meta” drop out who wanted to be king) may be facing some headwinds. Sure, there is the Jeeves-like British spokesperson to make everything seem so good. But the idea that the company is investigating the nominal number two leader at Zuckbook for inappropriate something is interesting. I believe this individual hails from the Google which had to deal with a baby in the legal department. Wow. Those Googlers. That Metazuck. Governance is these outfits’ core competency not.

A few other issues are identified in “Meta Is in Serious Trouble. Here’s Why.” The write up states:

It would appear that the biggest hurdle that Meta faces is slowing revenue growth, something that has already started to show its effects on Meta’s plans.

Ah, ha, money.

But is this the only ripple in the king’s toga? Nope. Consider:

  • Virtual reality, a money pit
  • The metaverse, a money pit
  • The Zuck watch, a money pit
  • The Google, an ad damper.

In sum, the Zuckbook faces innovation woes, money woes, and big plan woes.

As the semi-interesting observation of the character Albany spouted:

You are not worth the dust which the rude wind blows in your face.

There you go. King Lear had an outcrop of stone. The Zuck has a chunk of an island. Good places.
