The most surprising thing for me is how Instagram became such a big success. I never thought it would take off that well. Now it's so big it can support lifestyles like these.
- blakesterz 8y agoMy biggest failure in life is not knowing what people really want out of the internet/web/apps. I'm constantly surprised at how things became such big successes. Instagram? eh, that'll get used by 100 people. Snapchat? That'll be forgotten about in 2 months. Facebook, meh, seems boring. And so on... I'm wrong so damn often because I just can't imagine wanting to do what other people get super excited about. I don't think there's anything wrong with all that they do, my brain doesn't work like that though, I really wish it did! All these successes are obvious in hindsight.
- jjeaff 8y agoIt doesn't support many lifestyles. It's a very, very top heavy model. A few at the top are making tons while the huge majority make essentially nothing. All these people are supporting their Instagram obsession like an actor waiting tables.
