Yeah, I mean, the step beyond this we haven't gone to is you have to apply to list an Airbnb. We have certain quality criteria. And if you don't meet that quality criteria, then you can't list an Airbnb. that's probably where we're going within our new verticals.

We're going to basically, you know, Amazon had this moment where they were just selling books. And then in like the late 90s, they decided to just, you know, go just outside books.
