I think you said that I also think is true and makes me so mad. is, yes, if you're going to start, put a piece of information out, you probably should start a TikTok channel. I don't like that, but I think that is true.

I think one of the interesting things, though, is if you go back to the origins of the web as a publishing platform, what we've learned about publishing platforms in retrospect is it missed two big things. distribution and discovery. We now know that the most powerful part of any publishing platform is discovery. And the web publishing platform didn't have that built in.

Google's a hack in many ways for that. TikTok's a hack for that. The second thing it didn't have baked in is payments. Can you imagine the iOS ecosystem if Apple didn't have native payments that were easy and seamless? Think about what that's done for subscriptions and purchasing apps. Yes, there are a lot of challenges with 30% taxes, but it enabled this thriving marketplace.

And so if I look at the trajectory of the mix shift on the web towards applications, there are reasons for us to rush. People are rushing towards it. And if I look at the reasons that information or publishing has faded, I think it can really come down to those two missing elements. I wish I knew what you could do about that because, again, the web is a decentralized protocol.

I think you can look at those two factors and explain a lot. I'm curious if you agree or if you have thought about that.

I love nothing more than to get involved with that. I mean, because another thing we think about are the fundamental economics of browsers and the web itself, which is so dependent on ads. And I think often these conversations are binary. Ads are bad or good. That's not what I'm saying.

But I think there's so much more potential in the ways that browsers and publishers to the web and applications to the web could monetize if payments were built in. I think that's extremely exciting. It's a great example of somewhere where it's sort of a win-win-win. If you make payments easier, the individual is happy because it's easier to make payments.
