Well it is Zuckerberg, he seems exactly like the kind of bitter nerd that wouldn't pay for porn even when he has all the money he could ever ask for.

It would be the one sensible thing about him then

But didn't he go to one of the best universities in the world. Isn't that really the point of him. The hell is he bitter about?

Not sure what you mean but IIRC, he dropped out to start Facebook.

Yup.

Harvard University (dropped out)

Incidentally, some other prominent tech founders did the same. Off the top of my head:

Bill Gates (founder, Microsoft):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates

Harvard University (dropped out)

Michael Dell (founder, Dell Technologies):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Dell

University of Texas at Austin (dropped out)

Steve Wozniak (founder, Apple):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak

University of Colorado Boulder (expelled)

He started Apple later, didn't directly do it from college.

He did go back to university, years later, after he'd retired from Apple, and got his bachelor's degree.

Let's not confuse anecdotes and statistics. Less than 10% of the USA's richest dropped out of collage

Yeah he dropped out but his parents were rich enough to get him in there in the first place. He's had an entirely blessed life there's nothing for him to be unhappy about.
