I know, I know, I know, I know it's a lot of pressure, but here's the thing about the Route 100.
It comes out every year.
And so if this November you're not on the Route 100, guess what?
We'll be around again next year and we'll look at every year the people who are setting culture, breaking trends.
And I just see it as a great opportunity, particularly with the spending power of Black people, why advertisers will come and why there's so much opportunity in independent media.
It makes me sad, but I think it's a both and.
We're still gonna write.
We are a written publication.
We will have writers, we will have intellectual pieces, we will have that journalistic rigor.
But just because you write something doesn't mean you can't also put it on video.
And so it is a both and, and I think that's how we actually expand our audience, that's how we,
meet people where they are.
If you don't want to read our piece, you can get it in some other form.
Maybe it's audio, maybe it's video, maybe it's via text message or email.
Maybe it's on TikTok or maybe it's on Instagram or maybe it's on Spill, right?
So that is why I see there's like so much opportunity and really understanding our audience, but also understanding the folks who aren't following the route right now.
What would make you a subscriber is part of our business approach.
I guess I think there's an opportunity for everyone right now to use social media.
I don't think people are not interested in media.
I think it is how you distribute your media, which is one of the reasons why we actually wanted to purchase The Root.
