Fast forward to now, suddenly this year, specifically in around March of this year, Trump came out and said, you know what? I really like TikTok. I love TikTok. Let's keep it around. And as for the why of that, I mean, first of all, Trump's a star on TikTok now. He used it to pretty great effect during the campaign. At the very least, he got a lot of followers.

He put up a lot of videos and also appeared with all of these influencers who have podcasts, but also great TikTok followings. And beyond that, his position on TikTok flipped right around the time that he met with a who is not only an investor in TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, but is also a really big Republican donor. So again, I want to be clear here.

I am not saying that we can point to a cause and effect here, but that is certainly a relationship that has been pointed out.

All of these places, yes, it's totally unsustainable, right? But a thing that seems to be creeping in is a great skepticism among people. towards many of these platforms, especially as people like Elon Musk take over Twitter. And then Blue Sky becomes kind of the anti-Elon slash question mark anti-Trump social platform. Meanwhile, Trump has his social platform.

And so many of these platforms have become an identity or have become sort of markers of your identity and especially your political identity online. But I think that that constant... brain fuzz when you're on a social platform of, is this the right place to be? Who am I reaching? What does it say about me that I'm even on this one? I think that's just going to get harder.

And I do wonder how long that can be sustainable.

I mean, first of all, I couldn't agree more with you on all of that. And I mean, especially, I mean, if you're bringing in trad wives, you have to talk about gender, right? Because they, or at least I do because that's my jam. But seriously, I promise this isn't just a to a ham or everything looks like a nail thing. Because to me, in the realm of food, so many different things.
