If they try it and it flops, there's a bunch of, you know, tools from big companies that I've tried in the past.

They flopped and I haven't gone back.

I think one of those examples would be something like Runway for Video.

This is a platform that I tried a lot in the early days.

It wasn't that great.

And I mean, you have to give them a huge kudo for being first, but I never really got back to that platform.

And then Suno came out and a lot of these other video generations.

You have Higgs Field, which has a whole bunch of models on there.

And I tend to just use more of those types of tools today than going back to some of the OG video tools.

I think this is kind of a trend you'll see with a lot of, I know it's kind of like a random story from my experience, but I think you're going to see that a lot.

So there was a recent report that came out of Revenue Cat and they showed that the subscription infrastructure for more than 75,000 different developers

And they kind of analyze it because they power all of that subscriptions.

And by the way, these are kind of my favorite reports.

Mercury, you know, a SaaS kind of bank, SaaS focused bank is an awesome one.

They do kind of a state of AI every year where they show the top AI companies that, you know, that...

people are actually using and actually have subscriptions to.

So it's kind of cool to see Revenue Cat do something similar.

What they found, though, these are just awesome, reliable places because you know exactly where money is actually being spent.

But in any case, they found that while AI apps monetize really quickly, they really struggle to keep users around.

And I'll even say for my own startup, AIbox.ai, when we first launched
