Tuur Demeester: Mark Zuckerberg prioritizes Facebook and Instagram profitability over user wellbeing
@TuurDemeester: Zuckerberg prioritized profitability
Mark Zuckerberg's business strategy has come under scrutiny following allegations that he prioritizes profitability over user wellbeing.
According to Tuur Demeester, founder of Adamant Capital, an internal email dating back to 2018 reveals Zuckerberg's preference to base decisions on which platform, Facebook or Instagram, is the better product. The criteria allegedly focus on 'addictiveness and revenue per use hour' rather than enhancements in customer quality of life.
This approach raises questions about the long-term implications of such priorities for users and the potential ethical considerations for the tech giant.
In the current digital economy, the line between enhancing user engagement and maintaining ethical standards is becoming increasingly complex, sparking heated debates across the industry and among stakeholders.

These developments underscore broader tensions between growth-focused leadership and the complex ethical considerations facing today’s decision-makers—a dynamic explored in Tuur Demeester’s assessment of the Flemish government’s $3.2 billion stake in Brussels Airport. As such prioritizations continue to shape outcomes across both technology and finance, lessons can also be drawn from Demeester’s forecast of a 50% surge in Bitcoin, where profit motives intersect with sustained public debate over responsibility and long-term value.
