And we have a position that would be great for you working with creators, helping them grow and helping them learn positive and good posting patterns and what not to post and kind of like helping them along on their journey.

It was weird because I'd be walking around and some of the engineers definitely knew my stuff, which was funny.

So they felt like, oh, the app maybe does care. We would make channels for trends that were happening.

And a lot of people would discover new creators that way.
