But again, it goes back to things like investing in the product.
We acquired a company six months ago called Truth Lab, which is about doing AI video processing.
So we're processing the videos that people do on our platform and using machine learning to help our insights come out more quickly.

That's just not a solid strategy.

So far, we've seen a mix.
We've seen some people who are holding their budgets a little tight and saying, maybe we'll buy next quarter.
