Well, being a "scumbag" isn't a disqualifier for Person of the Year. A person becomes PotY for shaping and/or influencing world society...not for being a goody-two-shoes choir boy. I mean, what exactly did those Chilean miners do?

I know, wasn't saying Suckerberg isn't deserving of the node, just that he's another scumbag added to the list.

That's true, after all Hitler and John Gotti made the list before. But with regard to the chilean miners, imo, the fact that they didn't crack and held on to hope for that long showed spirit* and bravery. Desirable qualities not alot of people have nowadays. They could've given up.



*not in the religious sense.

Well at the time Hitler wasn't yet a badguy. It was before WW2 or any holocaust, so he was the man who revived a war-weary and Depression Era Germany.

As for the miners: entering a primal survival-mode when you have no other option doesn't qualify being influential, just because there happened to be cameras present.

Alright what about gotti?

And with the miners there were other options. They could've lost their minds, commited suicide, killed others. Basically lose all hope.

The story is inspirational because you would need a very strong will to survive that incident.

When did Gotti get it?

Chilean miners was done to bandwagon, nothing else. The minute they were pulled from the hole, the world stop caring and any influence had (if any) fizzled just like the news coverage.
