Watched it this morning, happy to see a post about it here.
I really enjoyed it, and would recommend. I think it speaks to a lot of what we already know/suspect about how these tech platforms operate, but to hear it from high profile people in the tech industry ('pioneers' if you will for some of them), it really hits home.
I genuinely believe they didn't know what they were going to create in the early days. It was more of, "let's see where this goes because the popularity is rising". Ironically I don't think they could have predicted the resulting long-term implications on society and democracy (I think economically they knew it would disrupt, just not sure how).
