They were making fun of me for talking so much about how he looked like Zuck, not him because the startup did badly. It was arguably not his fault the company did badly; it fell apart due to a cofounder dispute.

I added more detail to that paragraph to make these things clear.

it's easier than having one succeed

you guys know that the plastic surgeons who were telling their clients they could make them look like Zuckerberg are hoping this doesn't get out, right?
