We were so fortunate when we created Snapchat, the mobile phone, you know, in the app store were just getting started.

So people were downloading lots of new apps all the time.

They were really excited about trying new

services.

Instagram, I think it started a year before Snapchat or something like that.

So there was a real appetite to try new apps and new services.

And that's not the case today.

It's a lot harder to get distribution for new ideas and new services.

People aren't downloading as many apps now as they used to.

And

both TikTok and Threads figured out distribution, which is why I think there are more recent examples of success.

TikTok did it with money, which I actually thought was really innovative.

They spent billions of dollars subsidizing both sides of their video marketplace, right?

Acquiring customers to watch videos and then paying creators to make videos.

And so they were able to bootstrap their ecosystem.

And I think with Threads, obviously, they were able to leverage the amazing distribution

that Meta has across all their other products.

So I think so much of consumer technology focuses on, am I building the right product?

Do I have product market fit?

Have I built something that's really gonna resonate with customers that they're really gonna wanna use all the time?
