#14Best of luck to Parag - I'm guessing that investors will be measuring his success based on his ability to monetize Twitter in a way that Jack wasn't able to (not a dig at Jack, I recognize that it's an insanely hard problem to solve). For better or for worse it seems like Twitter has become a key part of our society, and I'm curious to see what ideas they come up with in the next few years

#15Here’s a different take on the situation: I think this is bad for Twitter. Twitter has started building and shipping incredibly well, they’re getting more products out than I ever remember seeing. I was very confident in the trajectory they were going in.
For all the toxicity people complain about with Twitter, I remember the early days. They’ve made huge progress in community quality.
Most importantly, Twitter is the only social media company taking real action on the addiction and mental health impacts. You can make your Twitter a chronological timeline instead of an algorithm feed. You can pay to remove some ads. They’re not perfect, but they’ve done much more than anyone else.
Beyond all of that, I think Jack was the most trustworthy figure running social media. Not a super high bar, but he was willing to engage with the topic deeply. I think he did Rogan’s podcast twice, the second time shortly after the first because the feedback was that they didn’t engage critically enough. That’s ~6 hours of fairly open conversation, most people stick to 5 minute news segments.

Although influential, surely Twitter's recent run isn't because of Jack himself, but the new culture he instigated? Him leaving doesn't change the dynamic there now, just another person who's been influential in the process signing off on the big ticket things.
