If I was hosting some amazing CEO'S, I would probably have water on the table for them.

[@suvivares]

Andrew is on his way to become in a pivotal reference in business opinion! His reporting and interviewing is excellent 👍🏻

Hello Thanks for your support and comments ❤️

[@SiyaCreepin]

In an alternate universe, this guy is at the helm of Facebook and it’s a lot more thoughtful company solving big problems.

[@bawabrian]

Kevin said "Principles" in one talk more than Ray Dalio has said in his entire life...

[@foadahadi]

I haven’t seen in my whole life a fool like him selling his gem (Instagram)

[@dayburks]

Instagram needs you again bro

[@scoobyd05]

Man so far interview of the year super inspiring and handled him self very well on the questions

"A world without Instagram is a sadder world" What?

[@dealzman]

"Every technology has good and bad" yeah right Microsoft Excel is making kids in Africa malnutritious

[@codewithmePuneet]

@@dealzman Well a lot of companies thrive just because of Instagram and it's idea and community which is based around people more into fashion and beauty products. And also the art of photography lies at the core too. Comparing a serious problem with some tool and blaming on it, is not the right way to go. Surely Instagram has a bad side but a lot of people have found their loved ones on the platform too. Lots of things wouldn't have happened without Instagram.

The next insta should be disappearing photos after 12 months but in a cool way where u can regenerate the photo

Breaking up big tech will severely handicap the United States ability to grow in comparison to rival nations. If we want to continue to lead the world in tech (our lead has already shrunken severely) and innovate or create impactful new products/systems, we must empower our companies to build such a cash cushion so that they won't fear taking risks that could yield the next thing. Extremely large companies such as Amazon and Google are already in position to pay more in taxes so that a decent amount of wealth can be redistributed to citizens via a Andrew Yang-esque monthly UBI. The government can place restrictions on how citizens can spend the UBI so that most if not all of the UBI is funneled back to the government or US economy,. Maybe I'm overly optimistic.

[@alidimas6328]

Khari Conception what is with the American obsession with “leading the world?” It’s almost like the government has shoved it down the masses throat so hard that it’s ingrained into our minds as something we can’t exist without.

[@KhariConception]

Ali Dimas Great question . I’m not going to pretend to have a “marvelous” answer to that question. Being that I live in the US, if “God” asked me who I would like to “lead” the world, then I would quite naturally choose the country that birthed me. Still, I’m not anti other countries with respect to growth and success.

[@user-ix5wr5vf1v]

Kevin is my favourite Tech CEO! Incredible insight on very difficult social issues as always. Every social media service is having to make a choice whether to encourage more ads and keep the top line and P&L's growing, or ban all ads that people say are true from "their perspective" but are not widely excepted as true. How in the world are you supposed to do that "at scale" on millions of ads? Fact checking every single ad request would be arduous and inevitably people will get pissed off and complain about "censorship" if you block their ad that they think is true and completely disagree with your rationale for not approving it. Especially hard when you have millions entities looking to pay you for ads they think is true and is impossible to confirm! Are we going to open FBI-like investigations on everybody to decide on what gets promoted on the internet?

[@peach7469]

If TikTok can filter out harmful, harassing, abusive, and terroristic in nature; it begs the question: why can instagram not monitor its platform.

[@user-ix5wr5vf1v]

@@peach7469 I'm sure the FB people would say they want to retain free speech.

[@anna_inu]

He's not CEO of anything.

[@dealzman]

This whole talk was dumb as hell he made 0 sense he said "world without Instagram is a sadder world", "Every technology has a bad side" he's an idiot

[@Chronicler92]

@@dealzman But Aditya, isn't it true? All internet have to deal with positives & negative effects like for these social media & content consumption platforms (freedom of self-expression, identity & speech is a positive while passive content consumption, time well spent, etc are the negatives). What do you think he was wrong about?

[@morm2173]

This guy is beyond a genius entrepreneur

[@MikeSmith-rd9fi]

New seats are required.

[@syifaaziz]

The amount of “the different questions” is just ann .. i wish he could elaborate Systrom’s answers and deep dive from there. Not jumpy like this

[@ACMUSICLATIN]

you dont build the largest marketing platform in the world by mistake. they knew the effects from day 1

[@justusgreen8498]

Of course

Oh y'all done it now

awesome

Bhai please batao Instagram ke private account kasa dekhaa

[@medmondsr]

A lot of uninteresting and flat answers imo. He doesn't seem to stand for anything or really care about the larger issues at play enough to do anything actionable. I'm glad I don't work for someone so featureless.

[@jensenraylight8011]

i think you not there yet because you are either average or below average, so you don't understand what the point he wants to communicate and do you think Instagram want to hire you?, even if you beg and crying, they won't hire you

[@medmondsr]

@@jensenraylight8011 Instagram is a cancer on society, feeding into our worst qualities as people. Why the fuck would I want to work for that pile of trash?
