So there is a reason for all these things to happen.
We launched in mid of 2009, so we're like eight and something years going.
We raised capital.
So I was lucky enough to be an engineer, and I had a good idea, and Sequoia Capital came in and wrote a check before we started the company to get the employees coming.
I would say that I don't know how, because I can only say what's happening in my company.
Our investors are amazing.
And they're thinking about the health of the company.
And the first thing they recommend is if you do any shift, you need to do it slowly to make sure you're not hurting the people who work at the company and your potential to grow.
The health of the business is the number one thing.
Now, I don't know.
Our investors told us a lot that we should try to figure out what's the best model to go with.
But it was obvious.
If you look at the industry, everyone's talking about subscriptions.
Everyone's doing that.
By the way, I think in a year, we'll have a problem.
Everyone will try to sell subscriptions.
And then when a client goes in and says, okay, now I need to buy 150 different subscriptions to things, it's also kind of crazy.
So we'll have a different problem going in and then people would have a new model where it's, I don't know what it would be, but there's going to be a new model coming in.
To be fair, I think what we're seeing all the time is we keep going back to history.
So it's kind of a loop.
