Analysts found that Mark Zuckerberg's companies lost up to $6.9 billion (501 billion rubles) in just one day. But as always, when someone loses, another finds, and in this case Pavel Durov won — his Telegram messenger has 50 million new users. The network immediately reacted to this event with memes involving a Russian businessman.
Facebook users began to notice problems on October 4, someone in the morning, and someone in the afternoon. At first, Facebook pages stopped loading and WhatsApp messages stopped being sent, and then the troubles began to snowball. Instagram malfunctions began, and even later Snapchat, Tinder, Viber, Zoom and Netflix stopped functioning normally.
The failure affected even such colossi as YouTube and Bank of America — they survived, but some users noticed a decrease in the speed of the services. Everything lasted about 6 hours and during this time residents of dozens of countries faced various problems. Against the background of the global Internet disaster, the largest since 2008, Pavel Durov's messenger continued to work flawlessly, like a Swiss watch.

Users of messengers and social networks affected by the failure, many of whom used applications not only to communicate with friends, but also for business, quickly got their bearings and switched to telegram, replenishing the number of its fans by 50 million people. It turned out that Pavel Durov extracted an absolutely real profit from the current situation and the creators of memes could not get past this fact.
Images of a contented Pavel appeared on the web, resting on his laurels, counting profits or taking something away from the defeated Zuckerberg.
