And that is connection with other people.
Fundamentally, what makes us human is our desire for relationships.
And I think...
People want to express that through technology because we can't always be in the same room together with our friends.
Sometimes we're halfway around the world or we're at home when our friends are playing sports or something like that.
And technology helps us stay in touch with the people that matter most to us.
So I don't necessarily think there's a generational difference there.
You know, we have a huge number of millennials that use our service and Gen Z or boomers, even Gen Xers on Snapchat.
So I think what I see cut across every generation is that real desire for human connection, human relationships.
is Gen Alpha old enough to make content?
What's Gen Alpha?
Oh my goodness.
Well, it's interesting you mention that, because I do think at its heart, at its core, content is social in nature.
Whether it's older generations who grew up with television shows and talking about those shows together, or now on the internet, I think different generations or friend groups are finding different pieces of content and sharing that content.
And it can go viral socially in different ways.
But I think what really you're pointing out is that content in and of itself is social.
It is a point of connection.
And so I do think that's going to differ based on friend group or based on generation in some ways, because, you know, when you're growing up, a lot of your friends are also, you know, from school and they're similar ages to you.
And so I do think we end up generationally being attracted to different types of content or different sorts of memes.
But again, I think the cross-cutting undercurrent through all these generations is that desire for human connection and content is part of how we relate to one another.
