The median of its employees’ geographies is China. That’s how it got worse than your average maturing Bay Area company

Interesting. Could you elaborate on any specifics for this claim?

996 culture, and Zuck has a particular fondness for China, Chinese people due to his wife.

the entre into the culture via his wife isn't anything to shake a stick at, but don't anthropomorphize the Zuck -- he's there because there are 1 billion people who already live in a surveillance state.

cheap programmers, long 996 hours, and access to the biggest market in the world.

ok so no evidence, just racist innuendo

I mean, this was true when I joined in 2013. One guy I worked with was the only non-Chinese person working with the targeting team. So I really don't think it can be reduced to such a simple explanation.

To be honest, Facebook acquired lots more US business culture, and that's (personally) where I think lots of the rot came from.
