I think is one of the reasons that has become, you know, it's got more than 2 million followers because you can go there and you can have a conversation and not feel like you're in danger. As I say, the day that I was doing something live and there was live porn going on in the comments was amazing. probably the most distracted I've ever been when I'm trying to talk, but we can do that.
