Conspiracists on the right and the left assume the only reason anyone could do something is for money. But there are a lot of other reasons to do things. Today, I took a shower and put on clothes to be "socially acceptable". I called my mom because it's good to keep contact with with family once every few weeks and because it makes her feel better. I had lunch with a friend to chat. I fed my cat and cleaned up her puke because she keeps me sane. I took a shot of gin to get a nice buzz. And now I'm posting on Voat for shits and giggles.

I don't think the only reason that Zuckerberg could be donating is to help Facebook/himself/his friends make more money. He's doing it because he genuinely thinks it's a good thing for society, he has so much money it's a tiny dent in his fortune, it makes him feel good, and/or he can brag about it interview and with other billionaires. I'd say he's totally out of touch with reality. But none of those reasons have anything to do with making a profit.
