So I'm always listening to Spotify.

And I would say just from my end of one, I have definitely seen a lot of new features pop up.

And I love that.

I love that they're really testing things.

I love that they seem to have this more of a Google-type, sort of like a Skunkworks.

It's like, ah, throw it up.

See if people like it.

And because the lift on doing the coding now is probably so cheap for them,

There's really no downside.

It's like, yeah, throw out an about this song.

You'll know pretty quickly through the analytics whether that's resonating with your base users.

And if it is, double down on it.

Make it better.

But in the past, that might have been a good idea on a whiteboard and it gets pushed and pushed and pushed to the right because the coders go, I mean, we love it.

But then you get the experts in the room and they go, that would take us...

60 man hours to get out the door potentially.

And then they go, ah, it's a good idea.

It's not that good of idea.

Now I think you're just seeing these companies like Spotify that are going, hey, this is no longer a barrier to entry.

We can now throw more ideas up faster and iterate quicker and just leave it up to the users to decide what they really do like and don't.
