Those seem like pretty awful questions imo. He's not going to waste time listing off things that will get you banned from Twitter. He'll tell you not to violate TOS (in other words don't harass people). This should be common sense. With your second question he's obviously not going to say no. He'll give a standard PR reply. Same goes for the third. He's not going to talk up a competitor.
- subie 10y agoSurely these question are more relevant then "What would you tell your younger self" - "Don't eat ramen noodles and exercise". I think you're right he'll just come back with standard PR replies but at least you're asking question people want asked.
- k-mcgrady 10y agoDon't get me wrong these definitely weren't great questions either. I'd rather see something a little different though than the standard PR response we can read on dozens of sites so at least it's different. It's also possible he would only agree to the interview based on certain questions so we can't be too tough on the interviewer.
