Devils advocate here

I’m not agreeing, but I’m hard pressed to find another person that is from the millennial generation that has been a persistent “public figure” as long and persistently than Zuck. He has been persistently in the news more or less daily since 2006.

Can you name another millennial that has a wider and longer lasting notoriety?

Does that mean that people respect him, or think of him as an ideal person or whatever?

No

but that’s not what Zuckerberg is saying - he’s saying “well known”

I’m not sure I could name another millennial that is as well known globally for as long - maybe Ronaldo or Taylor Swift
