At some point, it'll be too expensive. So that's one. And I think part of it is, yes, it's expensive to sponsor.

And also, I think, again, as brands need to figure out, there's no more money for brands. So if you are a YouTuber that suddenly becomes very expensive, there's a lot of other places you can spend money. That just doesn't make sense long term. So I can also spend my dollars elsewhere.

I think Any promise of infinite content that seems like it's right and authentic is a threat in general to brands as well as to the health of agencies. It sounds fantastic. I would say that in the market right now, even brands still have barely figured out how to just do DCO. So it sounds amazing to think about that offer, but it also comes with a lot of risk.

You need to be coming with your own set of content to be able to do that and your own systematic approach to it because it opens up a ton of risk. So I don't, in a world where brand safety is really important and with your example of someone turning a knob, I think this becomes a really interesting space to just say, sure, we'll give you all of our assets and go crazy and do that.

This is about, because it's about brand safety. So it used to be just about, okay, how do I make sure what's happening here is not placed against something that is unsafe for the consumer and not right for the brand?

we're looking at saying like we all need to be able to use tools, AI tools, to be able to come up with more content. There's no question. There's no debate. We need more content. We need to feed all the feeds with content. But we also need to be able to do it in a way that's sustainable, that is also maintaining the integrity of that brand. And so how do you do that?
