FollowFacebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has accumulated more than 5 million subscribers, thanks to a simple trick. On Wednesday, Facebook rolled out a Subscribe button. The button allows a user to follow anybody’s public updates, regardless of whether or not they are Facebook friends. This one-way subscription model is like following somebody on Twitter or adding somebody to a Google+ Circle.
While some users are worried about the privacy implications of the the opt-in feature, many others are using it to subscribe to other users, particularly Mark Zuckerberg. In fact, the Facebook CEO is amassing subscribers at a breakneck pace.
Since Wednesday morning, Zuckerberg has acquired more than 5+ million subscribers, and that number is rising by the minute. The count is rising so quickly that the site can’t even properly display his total subscriber count (check out the screenshot to see what we mean).
