And on YouTube, you still do make that decision.

It decides what to show you.

And people like me are deciding how...

how much clickbait we want to use, how many tools we want to use to entice you to it, to attract you to our content.

But on TikTok and Shorts and Reels, we've given up all decision-making.

And we like it.

We prefer that.

And I think that we will look back on that as a pretty cringy activity.

But I don't know how long.

Will it be 50 years?

Will it be 20?

Will it be 100?

I don't know.

There are product design lawsuits occurring right now about those platforms that suggest maybe it will be less than one year.

Oh, are you talking about the infinite feeds being manipulative or something like that?

Yeah, to overcome the content moderation First Amendment concerns, the lawsuits are product design concerns.

That's a whole different episode.

We can do that one some other time because I'm fascinated how you feel about that as a creator.

The reason I asked about YouTube and business and rates to start with is

is when you mentioned the incentives of running the business and what the incentives would lead you to, to gain more profit tomorrow than you do today, right?
