Last week we talked about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shelling out $170 million for his fifth forever bunker, and y’all were fantastically blunt in the comments with your opinions on the social media billionaire. It was glorious! I was only sorry ol’ Zuck himself wasn’t able to witness the passion he inspires. Luckily, anti-Zuck sentiment is widespread, and Las Vegas graciously had us covered this weekend. Zuck was in Sin City on Saturday to catch the UFC 326 match between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, when the jumbotron camera landed on Zuck’s recognizable visage. No, Zuck wasn’t caught kissing a married colleague — this is mixed martial arts, not a Coldplay concert! He was merely caught existing, which was enough for the audience to erupt in a chorus of booing. Zuck then clearly turned to the person sitting next to him and said, “I’m booed,” before letting his face drop for a second. [insert sad clown noise here]
People were NOT happy to see Mark Zuckerberg at UFC 326 last night.
The billionaire Meta founder and martial arts practitioner was at Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena for the event, where fighters Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira had their big face-off — but the crowd made it clear they weren’t thrilled to see him.
In a now-viral video, Mark was chatting with someone nearby when the camera suddenly landed on him to announce his presence. Turning toward the camera, Mark nodded and pointed in acknowledgement, as the audience immediately began to boo.
Laughing, Mark appeared to say, “I’m booed,” before turning back to the ring. For a brief moment, his face appeared to drop before he forced a smile and seemingly tried to ignore the crowd as the booing continued.
The video quickly went viral on Reddit, with many viewers focusing on Mark’s reaction.
“You can tell this actually bothered him,” one person wrote. Another agreed, “Oh shit, that crushed his empty little heart. He tried to play it off but that second awkward smile.”
“This jabroni 1000%,” someone said. “He’s making that face you make when the homies are messing with you and you’re trying to act like they didn’t just strike a real nerve.”
“He looks devastated 👏😂,” another said, while one more added, “You see it gets to him.”
This is why you stay IN the bunker, Zuck! Or at least keep to local activities within the gated enclave of Billionaire Bunker island. Only then are you safe from having to face the harsh reality of how the public really feels about you. (Unless of course you do a livestream gaming session from the bunker, iykyk.) Anyway, womp womp, I’m sure Zuck took his bigly hurt feelings and wept rivers into mountains of cash when he got back to one of his eleventy homes/compounds/bunkers. As for us peasants, I simply must believe we still live in a world where good people view that clip of a tech bro being mocked and walk away determined… to make “I’m booed” merch! T-shirts, hats, sweatshirts, c’mon! And set up so that most of the proceeds go to support the active lawsuits trying to hold Meta to account for knowingly harming young people’s mental health. Let “I’m booed” do good.

Good. These monsters need to be booed everywhere they go.
Love it*K! So you guys watch.Stephanie.Millers.show, too.
“Eleventy”❤️
Zuck has a bad case of little man syndrome. He’s 5’7”. I wonder if an aide put a booster cushion on his seat at the UFC like at the Senate hearing.
To me he is such a tryhard.
He has always reminded me the nerd guy who wants to be part of “the cool guys club” and when he is he bullies everyone just because now he is cool too.
Does this make sense?
Get off social media.
At least drop FB and Insta.
He doesn’t care, he really doesnt. Not as long as his products have your eyeballs hostage.
This! One million percent. There was discussion of this in the Travis Kelce post comments today. I refuse to join social media. If people refused to engage until these companies would operate ethically then this would be a totally different world. The masses don’t realize it or don’t think that the one little purchase they’re about to make will make any difference …. Those one little purchases, and sign-ups to FB, et al, are what builds these companies and increases their power. These companies are a tower like the Jenga game. If everyone pulls their little piece out…the tower *will* fall.
I left FB after 15 years following the election. I took the two months prior to the inauguration to build an exit strategy to stay in touch with distant friends and family after dependence on FB for so long. I’m on Blue Skye, but it’s not the same format at all, of course. I’ve never been on IG, but I do feel the sacrifice sometimes not easily following the bands and causes I love. It’s more work, for sure, but my mental health has improved immensely. I had no idea what a toll FB had taken: the constant scrolling, searching for the next interesting factoid, foolishly clicking the comments section and being visually abused by horrific posts that might be bots, might be my neighbor. Who knows? So yes staying in touch requires more work. I fear I may have missed a concert or event from not being plugged in, but I have zero regrets. I am more productive and happier.
I’ve stopped using Instagram. I don’t want to give this jerk one more cent of my monetized attention. And on top of that, Insta used to be a fun place to see great pix and keep up with my friends, and it’s now a cesspool of reels of 90s tv shows and people I don’t follow. But that’s Zuck–he’s grown rich of other people’s ideas, he manages them into products you hate. And his own development ideas lose money.
Boooooo!
Good. Eat the rich.
And we *can*! See my comment above.
The architect of the downfall of society. BOOOOOO.
Boo’ing him is the moderate position.
Posting rants against him on his own platforms really hits him where he hurts. /sarcasm
Good. The man’s eyes are as dead as his soul. I wish I could kick Insta, but my rebel-feminist-rage-against-misogyny-anti-war community is there. And there are some amazing creators. Facebook long gone after I came across a child rape page posing as the BBC.
Why can’t your community move to Bluesky or Signal? You’re not really raging against anything while financially supporting all of those things.
What a goon squad
Dude created his own playground out of spite and being socially disliked in Uni. Nowadays is the perfect place for h4t3 to brew. Does he really think he would inspire love and admiration? He’s just another rich human being that contributed nothing positive to humanity. The song in the video is on pointe BTW.
The robot has feelings? Wow technology is getting better and better
