the whole Genesis of Tik Tok came from
00:00:02
that really simple concept of your
00:00:05
content will be shown and if people like
00:00:06
it it'll be shown to a lot of people we
00:00:09
are investors in Tik Tok What resonated
00:00:11
to me when I met the founder his view
00:00:13
was if I have a piece of content and
00:00:15
it's a great piece of content how can I
00:00:17
have it be shared if you share it on
00:00:18
Instagram the only way people see it is
00:00:20
if you had a lot of followers and so he
00:00:22
just had a really simple idea and he
00:00:24
said what if I take every piece of
00:00:25
content that's uploaded into the system
00:00:28
and I show it to at least one other user
00:00:29
so no matter what that content is at
00:00:31
least one person will see it even if you
00:00:33
have no followers and then based on
00:00:35
whether that person views it or how long
00:00:37
I might show it to another user and then
00:00:39
a third and a fourth and it was such a
00:00:41
revolutionary idea and it really
00:00:43
resonated with me at the time and it
00:00:44
just goes to show how we're in an idea
00:00:46
business and when you have a truly
00:00:47
revolutionary idea it can get really big
