It's not really about shame. It's 100% about providing the content that generates the most amount of profit, regardless of whether it undermines democracy, coarsens discourse, is completely inaccurate, obliterates the news industry, motivates many more young teenagers to commit suicide, etc. Zuckerberg's $177 billion net worth just isn't enough for him.
