On December 27, Meta (formerly Facebook) CEO Marco Zuckerberg was named "Villain of the Year" by the American magazine New Republic for creating the world's worst website.

Interestingly, Zuckerberg is one of the few global celebrities Chinese dislike and Americans hate. In the past few years, Zuckerberg often praised China, and has been received by many domestic bigwigs, originally many domestic netizens liked him, and often used him to compare Tencent CEO Ma Huateng.
As a result, Tik Tok (Douyin) caught fire overseas, touching Zuckerberg's interests, and he immediately began to attack Chinese companies. When U.S. lawmakers met with the CEOs of Google, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook to ask if they thought China was stealing technology from the United States, the CEOs of the other three companies expressed disbelief that China would steal U.S. technology, and only Zuckerberg chose to support this argument.
Zuckerberg has offended domestic netizens, but he has not pleased American netizens. In July this year, youGov announced the popularity of billionaires in the United States, even if Amazon frequently breaks labor disputes, only 49% of netizens choose to "hate" its CEO Bezos. You know, when Bezos took the Blue Origin rocket to the sky, many American netizens cursed him never to come back.
Zuckerberg, the world's successful post-80s, has encountered 60% of netizens who choose the "nasty" option. At the end of the movie "The Social Network" featuring Zuckerberg, the female lawyer says to the protagonist: "You're not an asshole, you just want to be an asshole." ”
The reason why Zuckerberg's reputation is so poor is because he does not hide the essence of businessmen, the interests rush up in front of them, and they turn around and leave without benefits. When Facebook was deeply mired in privacy security, Zuckerberg was resisted by American netizens, and in the face of congressional questioning, he said that Chinese users did not care about privacy issues, and American users should not care so much. Xiao Lei just wanted to say that he certainly hadn't investigated the thoughts of Chinese users.
In addition, this year's metaverse concept fire, Zuckerberg immediately renamed Facebook to Meta, anxious to rub the heat, but also caused a lot of netizens to resent. To tell the truth, there are so many people who scold Trump, and many states in the United States still support him, and it is not easy for Zuckerberg to make people around the world hate himself.
