I really don't understand why people are accusing Zuckerberg of grifting. Like I get it, but it's incredibly clear to me that people are in a bubble.

I watch the UFC. Mark has been hanging around Dana White for almost 4 years I think now? He's been hanging out with MMA fighters, hanging out in MMA circles, probably hanging out in more conservative circles these days.

He used to be more into the tech scene I imagine, at some point that changed. I honestly don't think he's grifting. I don't think he's cozying up to the new administration (entirely.)

I think he's probably been wanting to do a lot of what he's doing now, but didn't want to be a target and was waiting until he felt like there was a large enough culture shift to be able to be more public about some of his new ideals. 

Doesn't make it right. Doesn't mean I like it. I just don't think that every single thing has to be because someone is trying to curry favor. When the grifters are telling you someone is grifting, sometimes it can be accurate. Takes one to know one right? Personally speaking, I think it's probably more on the side of projection. When a Tim Pool says don't trust Zuckerberg's change, that says more about Tim than I believe it to say about Zuckerberg.

This is far from a plea to understand, accept, or embrace his change, and more of a if you don't like his changes keep it focused on that. No need to try and mind read, especially when if you've been paying attention the writing has been on the wall for a while now that this was probably closer to who he is, than whatever you thought he was.
