奈飞创始人里德·哈斯廷斯：算法是人的判断和追求的物质的混合，我们追求的是服务而不是平台。因此，我们有一组更简单的问题，即我们获得的这些伟大的电影和系列是什么。但在这里面，算法是一种工具。你必须谦逊，因为没有完美的工具。

算法是一部分，我们也要关注内容，以及我们与社会的关系。所以我们要从多方面来看，如果太沉迷单一目标，比如让我们只是增加浏览量或只是增加订阅用户数，你不太可能实现预期增长成为伟大的公司。所以要想成功需要多重措施，我们看到所有的新技术，比如昨天谈到的打印DNA。这些技术可能是美妙的，但也可能是可怕的。

电视在19世纪60年代在美国首次流行时，它被称为广阔的荒地，人们说电视会腐蚀每个人的思想。但结果是大家脑子都没问题。所有新技术都有利有弊，甚至社交网络方面我们人类才刚刚整明白。

Reed Hastings：You know it's mix of judgment and what we cury, and we're curated service versus a platform. So we have an easier set of issues which is what are these great films and series that we acquire. But then within that the algorithm is a tool. You know what we I think we learn and you have to be humble and so to say look there's no perfect tool.

Out the algorithms one part the way we commission the content our relationships with societies. So there's a lot of ways that we have to look at it. So if you get too stock in like let's just increase viewing or just increase subscribers, you're unlikely to be able to grow and be the greatest company you wan to be. So think of it as this multiple measures a success. And we see that with all new technologies I mean yesterday we're talking about printed dna. And it's like talk about could be fantastic or could be horrific.

You know all new tech when television was first popular in the 19 sixties in the US it was called a vast wasteland. You know and the television was going to rot the mind of everybody, it turns out everybody minds were fine. All new technologies have pros and cons, and in social we're just figuring that out.（根据采访视频翻译）
