I think another one would be services.
There's no Amazon for services.
Think about you can hit a button and a car can pick you up.
You can hit a button and food can be delivered to you.
But what about hitting a button and having 80 other things possible?
I don't know if any one market is large, but if you add up the 80 different service verticals, that to me is another pretty big market.
And then maybe the last one is like living, stays longer than 30 days.
More and more people have a job via laptop.
More people are nomadic, more people are moving around.
That's another really big market.
So I think for Airbnb, we're looking at really expanding to a lot of different categories.
And I think that's where most of the growth is going to be in the future.
You guys are, okay, so one thing I have to acknowledge is I think all of us, advertising works better on us than we admit.
I honestly, we spend a lot on all these ads and I kind of think to myself, do these really influence people?
And they do.
And if they didn't, we wouldn't be spending like a billion dollars here in advertising.
So I want to admit that advertising does influence us more than we realize.
There's I think a lot of studies that show like, oh, that doesn't change my mind.
But you see something seven times and it probably, even if you don't want to believe it, you might start believing it.
So clearly it works.
