Mark Zuckerberg's 2004 Interview: See How Far He And Facebook Have Come | CNBC

This was one of Mark's earlier interactions with other humans that developed his understanding of our species. He blends in so well you can barely tell

2002 : Mark gets accepted into Harvard
2022 : Harvard accepts Mark's terms and conditions

I love how Mark's description of facebook even then was to gain information about people

[momoneylessproblems]

Never thought another human could make Mark appear more "human" than him but this WesMatch guy managed to do it in spades

[caliskanata]

The other guy looks like an artificial intellegence mark created

[NateOBrien]

The Facebook will never catch on. I’m going all in on wesmatch

[PikachuComments]

Mark looks so confused, like he just got programmed and is adjusting to his new feedback in the middle of the interview

[cvrxtc]

So, he was once human. Blinking vertically.

thank god Justin Timberlake told him to drop the "the"

[dislike__button]

Who would've thought this small website would grow into such a huge corproration!
Today, billions of people can't imagine their lives without Wesmatch.

1:41 FACEBOOK to META: "It's all about collecting your meta data and selling it to the highest bidder."

[chaostheory]

It was at this very moment when the lizard controlling Dan realized Mark Zuckerberg would be a more suitable host.

[Spynug]

Wesmatch is gonna take off, not sure about this "Facebook" thing.

[josephstalingamingofficial]

it's honestly heartbreaking and makes me sad that what mark has become and how much void he is of emotions. I remember having watched this interview back in 2004 and seeing how much lively he was. Looking at him today, I just feel sad to see how much he changed. He used to be exuberant but now he is nothing but a shell of his former self.

[Scheport]

This zuckerberg kid seems smart, he should build a social platform someday.

[sjlegends]

Mark spoke like a billionaire then. The other guy is really too proud about his crappy dating site

[mordie]

It's weird watching a video of Mark while he was still human. Good old days. He comes off almost normal.

[cristian_pop]

I feel nostalgic when I see those website interfaces :))

[JonJ]

Wow, it looked brutal in 2004, I joined at the end of 2006 and they had already improved so much.

So mark what's your website about? "World domination"
